Tasting Notes

The August 1888 is a tribute to the Giesen brothers grandfather August (Aw-goost), a sommelier and restaurateur. Like it’s namesake, this wine pushes boundaries.We start in the vineyard with meticulous hands on practice dropping fruit, hand pruning and hand picking. Care continues with winemaking that includes wild fermentation and integrated oak regimes.This attention to detail crafts a Sauvignon Blanc unlike any other; character-filled and complex, one that rewards cellaring.Fruit from two iconic Giesen vineyards make up the The August 1888. Matthews Lane grapes add rich ripe tropical notes, steely, wet pebble aromas and purity. The organically managed and certified Dillons Point vineyard adds herbal notes, richness and structure.In totality this creates a Sauvignon Blanc with a tropical nose featuring passionfruit and lime leaves. Its multi-dimensional and layered with toasty almonds, fresh brioche and incredible flinty notes. Well-integrated oak provides complexity and elegance.Opening this Sauvignon Blanc makes every occasion special.
