Welcome to Uncharted—a fresh and expressive range from Giesen that invites you to explore the hidden gems of Marlborough. Nestled between snow-capped mountains and the shimmering sea, this region enjoys long sunshine hours and dramatic terrain—ideal for crafting distinctive wines with a true sense of place. Sourced from select premium parcels in the Awatere Valley, this Sauvignon Blanc showcases the subregion’s cooler climate and heavier soils, resulting in textural depth, subtle flinty complexity, and beautifully lifted aromatics. It’s a more refined, savoury expression of Marlborough’s most iconic variety—bright, structured, and layered. This isn’t your everyday Savvy. It’s a journey into the soul of Awatere—one glass at a time.

Abundant aromas of gooseberries, elderflowers, kaffir lime skin, with passionfruit, wet stones, and lemon zest.

Great palate weight with a creamy texture indicative of the heavier soils of the Awatere Valley, making for a supremely drinkable Marl Savvy and where the acid is wonderfully balanced. Not your average Marl Savvy, but rather one that will delight you and all your friends, even if Sav isn’t their first choice. Drinking well now through 2027 and enjoy with ethically caught Marlborough seafood. The recommended serving temperature is 6-8 degrees.
