Impressively juicy Cabernet Franc from Hawke's Bay winemaker Jenny Dobson, who has extensive experience making wine from this great grape in Bordeaux, France. She applies her knowledge and winemaking skills of wild yeast, whole bunches in the ferment and foot plunging (her own feet) to coax the best from this full bodied, deep purple Cabernet Franc.

It's named after her aunt Francie and made as a tribute to her. 

Dobson describes this wine has tasting of red roses, spicy raspberries and scented velvet. 

This specialty winter ale  is characterized by its deep dark colour, with a creamy, thick head and a full, almost velvety taste with a fruity nose. 

Brewed annually for the holiday season, the long winter nights are perfect moments to savour this ale with or without friends and to enjoy its unique, complex taste.

Savoury Spanish newcomer with impressive credentials and appealing spicy flavours marrying nicely with the ripe baked red fruit flavours of good quality Rioja. This wine drinks beautifully now and can certainly age further and evolve well for the next three to four years, potentially longer. 

It was rated among the top 10 best Riojas of 2020 by the UK Drinks Business magazine and supported by a gold medal from the Rioja Masters 2020 and a Best Buy with 92/100 from Wine & Spirits magazine. 

Chardonnay lovers will be all over this wine made from hand picked grapes grown on the Heretaunga Plains in Hawke's Bay. Grapes were whole bunch pressed and
barrel fermented with wild yeasts, which provides rich depth of flavour and a smooth palate mouthfeel; Lees stirring enhances softness and builds structure and weight to this wine, which was aged for 11 months in barrel.

A great Syrah with black plum, blackberry and ripe red cherry notes from French winemaker Jean-Baptiste Souillard. 

This spicy full bodied red is new in store and offers great drinking now as well as ageing potential for up to a decade, potentially beyond. 

1800 Coconut Tequila – A unique infusion of fresh, ripe coconut flavour and 1800 Silver Tequila. this versatile spirit is delicious on the rocks and also tastes great mixed with pineapple juice.

This is a very deeply coloured and flavoursome wine as you would expect from a Malbec based wine. It displays rich plummy, jammy Gimblett Gravels fruit notes on the nose with complementary notes of tobacco and dried herbs. On the palate it is a medley of compex fruit flavours supported by a generous mouthfeel and age worthy tannins. A full bodied and complex wine, and an ideal accompaniment to red meat dishes.

Eyes are the windows to the soul & at the soul of this session hazy IPA is a balanced combination of Simcoe, Mosaic & Saltana Cryo hops! Notes of pineapple, tropical fruit & pine make this one black cat you won't mind crossing!

Spicy new, medium bodied Pinot Noir with lifted aromas of red flowers, ripe plums and hints of spicy macerated cherries, all held together in a smooth, silky wine made by  Julian Richards with grapes from the Ashmore Vineyard, owned by Dog Point Vineyards. 

This wine was aged in a combination of older oak puncheons for 30% of the wine with the balance being in stainless steel. 

"I'm trying to express the fact that style can be one simple change in the winemaking technique and Pinot Noir is a beautiful way to express that."

The other wine made from the same vineyard by Richards is called Fractal Pinot Noir. Both come from the 2020 vintage, one of the best years this century. 

An innovative eau-de-vie from Martell, which is made by finishing their acclaimed VSOP Cognac in Kentucky bourbon barrels. This finishing process adds rich aromatic tones to Martell's delicate, pure Cognac, layering the characteristic candied fruit and plum notes with vanilla and toasted oak. This eau-de-vie, which cannot be called Cognac as the latter must only be aged in French oak, commemorates the fact that Martell was the first Cognac house to ship barrels of its spirit to America.
