Theo, Alex and Marcel are the brothers at Giesen. They’ve got good wine in their blood. And good food. And beer too actually. That’s because their granddad August (aw-goost) was a sommelier and their great granddad Leonard Kaiser was a brewer!
Originally from Germany the Giesen brothers ended up in Marlborough in the early 80s while on their round-the-world travels. They fell in love with the place and decided to lay down roots. They purchased some land and planted a vineyard just outside of Christchurch. A few years later released their first ever wine – the 1984 Giesen Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc! Three decades on they’re one of Marlborough’s kingpin producers.
Their latest “Uncharted” series is the three Giesen brothers’ tribute to the area they call home, Marlborough. And if you’re wondering what wine the Giesen team like to drink – this is it!
“This generous Chardonnay is already a favourite among our team! We use only selected parcels of hand-picked fruit from the Wairau and Southern Valleys, and we pick early to ensure the beautiful natural tartness Marlborough is known for. “
Drink now to 2028 and if you’re looking for the perfect food match the Giesen guys and girls reckon this is perfect with Cloudy Bay clams with speck and Italian parsley.
Damn, you're looking young for your age!
