Fruit from the Awatere and Wairau Valleys brings together mineral drive, texture and bright tropical lift, while fine lees contact adds extra shape without dulling the crisp finish. It is dry, concentrated and lively rather than simply loud, making it a smart step up for Sauvignon fans. Chill it well and pour with snapper ceviche, citrus-dressed salads or fresh seafood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiesen has selected fruit from multiple premium vineyards across Marlborough's Awatere and Wairau Valleys. The cooler, drier and windier Awatere contributes minerality and texture, while Wairau fruit adds tropical and lively citrus character. The juice was fermented at relatively cool temperatures with selected yeasts to preserve aromatic purity, then spent time on fine lees to build complexity and mouthfeel. The finished wine is 13.2% alcohol, with flavours spanning passionfruit, pineapple, guava, peach, green apple, nectarine and fresh citrus, finishing long and crystalline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSam Kim, Wine Orbit, 93 Points (2024)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt's splendidly aromatic on the nose, with notes of green apple, apricot, kiwifruit, and lemon zest.
