The bouquet is exquisitely perfumed, with lifted aromas of citrus blossom entwined with the exotic spice of galangal and the zesty vibrancy of Kaffir lime leaf. A core of pristine primary fruit—lime, lemon pith, and crisp Granny Smith apple—unfolds gracefully, underpinned by subtle flinty nuances and earthy, spice-laden undertones.

On the palate, the wine is delicate yet poised, revealing a finely calibrated structure and tightly wound tension. A vibrant interplay of lemon and lime flavours dominates, supported by an expansive mid-palate that offers both clarity and depth. Seamless natural acidity provides precision and vitality, tapering into a long, mineral-laced finish with a refined chalky texture and exceptional persistence.

Concentrated mulberries, boynesberries and black pastille fruits dominate the nose with subtle fennel frond nuances. Subtle oak complexities of black cardamom, nutmeg and lifted violets are well positioned in the background.

The palate is rich and layered with dark cherries, plums and raspberries. Integrated structural dark chocolate tannins scroll to the back palate with subtle hints of anise, which is balanced with an elegant and buoyant acid line.

Lean and bright with a crisp pilsner malt and flaked rice backbone, Forest Friends is a West Coast IPA that delivers a sharp, clean bitterness. Simcoe lays down resin and pine, Taiheke brings citrus zest, and Riwaka bursts with passionfruit and tropical lift. A clear, snappy finish keeps the palate fresh, letting the hops lead the way from first sip to final drop.

We met Theo, the founder, from DEYA in the UK last year at the 2025 harvest, and this year, Gareth, the head brewer was over to hang out amongst the bines.

We have brewed a West Coast pilsner with a cool point of difference. The first ever pelletised harvest of Garston hops Riwaka.

THE YARN BEHIND THE BREW

Port Taranaki’s own salty puss - ‘Colin’s’ the cat shot to fame in 2001 when a free feed saw her accidentally stow away on the methanol tanker 'Tomiwaka' - bound for Korea.

The chatty tortoiseshell snoozed her way out of the country and into national headlines, sparking daily updates, TV appearances, and an international rescue mission. Cat food giant ‘Whiskas’ flew her home in style before she was crowned honorary ambassador of New Plymouth.

A true local legend, she lived out her days at the tanker terminal. Our salted Raspberry Gose tips a hat to Colin's the Cat – the original Saline Feline.

THE YARN BEHIND THE BREW

The year was 1930 when the New Zealand Oil Refineries began producing petrol, meaning that for the first time, Taranaki people could buy oil from their own oilfields. After several teething problems - including oil tanks solidifying in the cold weather leaving farmers to defrost their fuel tanks with blowtorches, Peak Petrol was born. Like a few beer brands that we all know, "Taranaki's own high-octane fuel' eventually fell away to the multinationals, but we're paying tribute with our own high-octane brew, loaded with a ridiculous amount of American and New Zealand grown hops that leave a tropical, resinous slick on the tongue.
