Giesen Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 75cl
£11
£11 per 75clProduct information
The Giesen Estate Sauvignon Blanc 20165 is a blend of 50 vineyards, spread across the length and breadth of Marlborough's Awatere and Wairau Valleys. The soils range from free draining alluvial/silt to clay loams. Having such a range of vineyards offers a wide selection of maturity parameters in terms of sugar and acid profile, but also a huge aroma and flavour spectrum. Our philosophy is to crop vines in balance with each site optimising the vines ability to ripen fruit evenly and consistently to produce wines that reflect the true terroir of each site. We feel this is true representation of the classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
Winemaking
Machine harvested from 50 separate vineyards.
The fruit was destemmed, gently pressed then floated to remove solids. The juice was inoculated with a range of selected aromatic yeast strains. Fermentation took approximately three weeks in tank at 12 to 16°C.
Vintage conditions:
the 2014/15 vintage was low yielding, with cooler temperatures during the flowering period, reduced berry size and bunch weights. As is often the case with smaller berries, the flavours are more intense and concentrated. The warm dry conditions leading into harvest across Marlborough ensured the flavour, acidity and sugar levels of the grapes all benefited from the increased hang time. The fruit in each block was picked at optimum ripeness.
Nose
Kaffir lime, elderflower, herbaceous, crushed nettle, dried herb, jalapeño pepper.

Replacement for Ned \- it\x27s better
It's nice and has more flavour than the Ned. My wife asked me to order more....high praise.
Very quaffable
Enjoy this wine. Light fruity notes, well balanced without being too acidic. Great for a summers evening in the garden.
Too acidic for us
We didnt enjoy this wine as much as other Sauvignon Blancs available from Ocado. I agree with the review that compared it with a cheap pub wine. It was very acidic indeed and wasnt rounded enough for us.
Could really taste the zest
Received this wine free to review and it didnt disappoint. I could really taste the zest flavours and almost a bit of spice. Was very welcome with our Saturday night takeaway. Would buy again.
Didn’t enjoy
This was more reminiscent of a cheap pub wine and not something I’d associate with a typical Marlborough flavour. Purchased ‘Marlborough Ridge’ in the same shop which was priced similarly yet infinitely superior.
Unlike typical Sauv
This was unlike the typical Sauvignon Blanc tropical fruit flavours but was rich, rounded and beautiful with our chicken Sunday lunch.
