Pinot Noir excells within the favourable winegrowing climes of Marlborough, fruit ripens to excellent condition on healthy vines. The Giesen style varies from one vintage to the next as determined by the season, always displaying the individuality of site, soil and mesoclime. An animate Pinot wine with ripe varietal flavours and refined tannins, fashioned from fruit grown to splendid Marlborough vineyards.

$2899each $347DOZEN EACH DOZEN Pinot Noir is harvested from several vineyards in Rapaura and Kaituna, Brancott, Waihopai and the Riverlands. All but one site is hand picked and hand sorted, artially crushed into fermenters and held cold on skins for up to a fortnight days for flavour extraction. Some batches remain in whole bunches so the stems could contribute tcomplexity. Fruit is for a combination of wild and added yeast vinification for twelve to twenty days. Upon completion, the wine remains on skins four days before pressing into 225L and 300L seasoned French oak barrels for natural malolactic, ageing and assemblage followed by a light egg white fining and filtration.

Bright plum red colour. Vibrant red fruit aromas, spicy vanilla, cinnamon and savoury, earthy notes. The vibrancy carries through to the palate where succulent fruit weight is complemented by soft, round tannins and a long, dry, flavoursome let's have another glass finish. Remove the screwcap and allow the wine to breathe for fifteen minutes before pouring, or decant. Partner with spicy entrees, mushroom dishes and roasted meats.

Giesen own and operate many of New Zealand's eldest and noblest vineyards, having accumulated an inventory of the finest viticulture since establishment in 1981. A single block of vine at Wairau, defined by a mesoclime and terroir uncannily similar to the great Crus des Cotes du Rhone, was replanted to Pinot Noir, with a view to creating small batches of the most superior vintages. Managed to fully certified organic husbandry, the precious Ridge Block yields the most intense Pinot Noir, crafted to minimalist old world techniques, articulate of a very special site.

$4299each $515DOZEN EACH DOZEN Clones 115, 777 and Abel, are planted to a medley of small to medium fractured stones, suspended in free draining silt and clay loams, regularly shoot thinned to optimise balanced growth, fruit thinned to optimise concentrated flavours and cropped at a modest kilogram per vine, hand picked to a schedule aimed at bringing fruit to the wineworks in perfect condition. Parcels are treated to a week of cold soak and three or four weeks wild indigenous yeast ferment on skins, a portion is included as whole bunches. Upon completion, batches are passed through an old fashioned basket press into an extravagantly high proportion of new hogsheads and barriques, for malolactic and a year's maturation.

Scarlet red with darker robes. Dark currant fruit notes to start, brambles and maraschino, caraway and cummin, anise and spice. A lovely palate, layered with morello, red apples and black cherry flavours, sassafras and root beer characters, its succulence, piquant stalky tannins and weight of fruit showing superb integration.

Every Gosset is a unique experience. Significantly, in contrast to virtually all other Maison, Gosset Champagne are seldom treated to the softening of malolactic ferments, achieving a greater elegance in acidity for vintages of slower maturing wines, offering the most remarkable finesse. Vinified and aged on lees, fruit and vinosity are up front without masking the wine’s personality and purity. Aged for a minimum of ten years under the Gosset cellars, Millesime is the expression of a great vintage year and the excellence of harvest, above all, it is the definition of a great era in Champagne.
