Curiosity Gin – Curious Dry (700ml, 40% alc/vol)

Curious Dry is the world’s only gin made using only New Zealand native botanicals. Wild harvest Kawakawa and Horopito (Bush Pepper), Manuka and urban foraged Tarata (Lemonwood) make a perfectly balanced London Dry style gin with a distinctly NZ taste and deliver a curiously good G&T.

A classical dry gin with a bright herbaceous freshness, Curious Dry delivers what the traditional gin drinker expects with a quintessentially Kiwi flavour.

Perfect served in a traditional G+T garnished with a wedge of lemon. Curious Dry is also perfect to deliver a Kiwi twist to any traditional gin cocktail!

Bright and beautifully effervescent, Coastal Sour delivers an intense, mouth-watering tartness that awakens the palate. Brewed using the very best of the season’s fruits, it balances vibrant sourness with a natural, juicy sweetness. Lively, refreshing and crafted to celebrate fresh harvest flavours at their peak.

A full bodied, savoury Pinot Noir with appealing layers of red fruit flavours, which  drinks well now and can age superbly for the next four to five years. This is smooth, savoury and complex in flavour with layers of red fruit, tangy freshness from bold acidity that is held in balance by weight and texture. 

Beautifully expressive, rich and opulent from an excellent growing season. Generous fruit concentration with a core of bright red and dark berry fruits balanced with freshness and a touch of spice and earthiness. Fine grained tannins sit in the background with the fruit and hints of savoury spice remaining.

Made from our organically managed vineyard at Bendigo, Central Otago with minimal filtration and no fining agents resulting in some natural sediment at the bottom of the bottle.

McLeod's flagship beer and trophy winner for Best International Lager at the 2017 Brewers' Guild of New Zealand Awards, this is a proper Lager matured for a full six weeks before release. Expect a sparkling light-gold colour with ripe melon and stone fruit aromas. Crisp but layered with ‘biscuity’ malt, it finishes dry with balanced bitterness.

Our "Home Block" vineyard, planted over 3 decades ago, is the sole source of this 2022 Forrest Malbec, revealing a captivating mix of boysenberry, chocolate, and coffee notes with a hearty and intense body.

When is NZ Pilsner actually a Pilsner? When it’s Sea Spray Dry-hopped Pilsner! Brewed like a proper pilsner but macrodosed (in whirlpool and dry-hopping) with Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin. This makes for a lean, crisp, lager base with big, green, dank oily notes backed with delicate passionfruit for a clean, dry smashable beer with enough bitterness to keep you coming back for more.

5.3% ABV.

Classic Lager Taste. Half the size. Meet 2.3% ABV Northern Light Vienna Lager. Crisp lager profile upfront with cracker-like aroma. It drinks smooth & hits above its weight with a surprisingly full body for such a low ABV beer. Toasty & bready malt palate hints of biscuits to a clean, dry finish with just enough bitterness to keep it refreshing.
