About us
Founded by brothers Theo, Alex, and Marcel in 1981, Giesen Wines has been an industry leader for four decades. With an uncompromising drive for quality and strong culture of innovation, the brothers’ investment in their people, vineyards and equipment has earned them a reputation as powerhouses in New Zealand wine. In 2017, Giesen Wines expanded to become the Giesen Group. This now incorporates several other well-known brands; Ara Wines champions Marlborough-centric wines (acquired 2016) while Konrad Wines (acquired 2020) specialise in championing the Waihopai Valley. As the portfolio continues to grow, the Giesen brothers have diversified. Their interest in beer saw the creation of Kaiser Bros Beer and partnership in the popular Riverside Market institution, Kaiser Brew Garden. Innovations in the up-and-coming seltzer category and spirit segment represent ongoing opportunities for the ambitious Giesen team. The family-owned company is one of New Zealand's top 10 producers by volume with distribution in over 40 countries. Giesen owns 13 vineyards throughout Marlborough and has longstanding relationships with over 50 of the region’s most respected grape growers. This underpins the company's reputation for quality Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, which it creates in more than ten different styles. From the highly-awarded premium Single Vineyard Selection, to the commercially successful Giesen Estate range, Giesen produces wine to be enjoyed at every occasion. While Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been the backbone of Giesen's success worldwide, they are also known in New Zealand for their best-selling Riesling and sell-out launch of the world's first alcohol-removed Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. With the 2020 purchase of an ex-Constellation winery to supplement the business' growth and the appointment of Duncan Shouler, the guiding hand for many of Giesen's recent innovations, as Chief Winemaker, Giesen Group are sure to continue their impressive growth trajectory.

Our Group General Manager, Kyle Skene, was recently featured in the Business of Drinks podcast, talking about Giesen Group's 0% range and our commitment to making quality alcohol-removed wines for consumers. Take a listen as he talks through the journey we've been on.
When Erica Duecy and Felicity Carter walked past the Giesen stand at a 2023 wine fair, they knew they had to stop and find out why the guy pouring wine seemed so happy, when everyone else around him was gloomy about wine’s downturn. It turned out that Kyle Skene, the Group General Manager of New Zealand’s Giesen Group Limited, has a lot to be optimistic about. When they found out why, they immediately invited him on the podcast. Giesen is a major player in New Zealand wine, and the company has a culture of creativity and experimentation, which led to the creation of Giesen’s 0% Sauvignon Blanc. With more than $10 million in sales annually of its non-alc wines, Giesen’s 0% is the second-biggest non-alc wine brand in the U.S. behind Fré. What they learned was that by leaping into a new category, there were other market opportunities waiting to be tapped. In this episode, Kyle reveals what it takes to launch products into highly competitive markets, while retaining the market-leading position of existing products. 1. Research is key It’s not enough to read consumer survey data. Giesen rely on research, starting with their own sampling programs, and staying abreast of research from other consumer categories. 2. Be your own consumer Giesen developed its 0% non-alc product after employees took a company-wide fitness challenge and swore off alcohol for a month. It was a tough call for a wine company — so they decided to develop something to keep themselves on track. 3. Get everyone on board Many winemakers went into the profession because they love wine as a product, so suggesting they develop a non-alc product was a big ask. But getting people on board is critical. 4. Staying true to company values can spur innovation The technology that produces non-alc products has a sustainability problem, which meant using it undermined Giesen’s environmental values. In solving the problem, they saw the potential for new products. 5. Don’t forget the ‘winemaker family’ test Before launching any new products on the market, Giesen’s winemakers trial it on family and friends. If it doesn’t pass the test, it doesn’t go to market. Those are just a few of the many insights from our interview with Kyle. For more, give a listen: https://lnkd.in/ebxe_nqB #nonalcoholic #beverageindustry #drinksindustry #drinksbusiness
