Syrah
Certified by BioGro New Zealand, our Giesen Organic Syrah delivers an exceptional full-bodied wine.
It is our viticulture practice to use organic philosophy throughout all of our viticulture management on all of our vineyards, not just our certified organic vineyards.
We see organics as being about improving our soil structure and helping the soil to hold onto water and nutrients. If the land is continually replenished, the soil will be healthy, and so will the plants and fruit.
This limited edition organic Syrah is from the Southern Valleys in Marlborough, from high-density, certified organic vineyards.
Every attention is lavished upon our organic vines which are hand tended, picked and sorted.
An intriguing, elegant Syrah with violet floral on the nose, followed by layers of dark blackberries and juniper offset by earthy, smokey character framed by a dash of oak and spice.
Organic
We believe legacy is vital, so we aim to leave the land better than we found it. That’s why we're passionate about organics - as a means of improving the environment. And as an added bonus, the Giesen brothers are delighted by the quality of the grapes and the rich, intense wines resulting from our premium organic fruit.

Winemaking
Every care in the winery is taken to ensure the stunning organic fruit shines through.
We're sorry - this wine is no longer being made
Once fruit was gently de-stemmed, it was added to open top fermenters by gravity, cold soaked to allow the early development of colour and flavour prior to fermentation, delicate hand plunging of the ferments and 14 days maceration to maximise flavour.
After maceration, wine was gently pressed with free run wine aged in French oak 300L barrels for 12 months.
This organic wine then benefited from 24 months maturing in the Giesen cellar allowing the development of complexity and a silken palate.

"Gorgeously pristine and inviting, the wine shows Black Doris plum, blueberry, violet, clove and toasted almond characters on the nose. The palate displays beautifully rounded mouthfeel and fleshy texture, wonderfully complemented by succulent fruit intensity and fine polished tannins. Splendidly harmonious and elegant with a persistent silky finish. At its best: now to 2029. Certified organic.

"We just love this in-depth tasty smooth red with the added bonus of it being organic!"
Wendy S, NZ Online Store Customer
"Grown in the Southern Valleys, this is a top example of South Island syrah. Full-coloured, it is highly fragrant and full-bodied, with ripe, plummy, spicy flavours, hints of liquorice and nutty oak, fresh acidity, and excellent complexity and density. Still full of youthful drive, it should flourish for a decade. Certified organic.

"Robust, rich, baked yet fresh and characterful, this is starting to show some development in its leather and meaty characters while retaining dark fruits.
