A Pinot Noir with vibrant red cherry, bramble, earthy nuances and warm spice. Silky, smooth, supple and well-structured.
These Estate wines showcase distinctive regional varieties which are generous, smooth, relaxing and most of all taste great. Treat yourself or enjoy with family and friends.
The highly sought-after Wairau Valley is an ancient river bed nestled between two mountain ranges and bordered to the North by Cook Strait. Broadly speaking, this finite sub-region of Marlborough covers cooler, drier inland sites, barren stony, early-ripening sites to sea-breeze moderated coastal sites. This scope gives the wine makers the ability to consistently blend to Giesen's style year in, year out, which gives a bright, aromatic and elegant style of Pinot Noir.
The 2015/2016 growing season began with a very warm period. To retain fruit flavour we counteracted this heat and growth by manually lowering yield. rapes were selectively harvested as each vineyard block ripened, ensuring the fruit was full flavoured and would create wine with brightness and length. Fruit was picked selectively over multiple days.
Once at the winery it was crushed and cold soaked for four to six days, before fermentation on skins for 16 to 29 days with indigenous and commercial yeasts. It was left to age in French oak for 10 months.
Food Pairing: The winemakers suggest pairing the 2016 Estate Pinot Noir with Crispy five spice scented, Peking Duck pancakes, hoisin sauce, Asian greens.
