Sauvignon Blanc Spritz
A refreshingly lighter way to enjoy wine. Crisp Sauvignon Blanc lifted with delicate bubbles and just 8% alc/vol, perfect for summer afternoons and social sipping.
Giesen Sauvignon Blanc Spritz is crafted from premium New Zealand fruit sourced from Marlborough and Waipara. Marlborough brings vibrant citrus and tropical intensity, while Waipara adds balance and softness to the palate.
Aromatic and expressive, it opens with lime zest, passionfruit and guava layered with subtle floral notes. The palate is light yet rounded, with citrus, green apple and juicy stonefruit characters supported by gentle sweetness. The 8% alcohol adds texture and weight, enhancing the fruit’s natural intensity. A lively spritz delivers energy and freshness, finishing clean and playful.
Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling parcels were harvested separately at optimal ripeness and fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal purity.
A portion of the wine underwent low-temperature de-alcoholisation to retain vibrant aromatics, with the captured aromas and gently adjusted component seamlessly reintegrated with the full-strength wine. The blend was subtly sweetened and balanced before filtration and bottling, with a light spritz added for a lively, refreshing finish.

Reviews
"A very spritzy and fizzy drink with a fruity core of pineapple and lemon, followed by apple and a lick of fruit spice. There is a super-fine lees note, then flavours of grape and ginger. Lots of plump fizz and mousse bubbles, with a crisp acid line. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2028."
