Its fresh and ripe blackcurrant nose is marked by aromas of spices. A frank, fresh and dense attack on the palate makes it a very delicious wine. Its beautiful length brings with it bewitching aromas of garrigue and reveals very sweet tannins. Powerful and pure in the mouth with a very elegant, fruity palate. Ready to drink, or even better with age.

Grapes: 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah

Terroir: Pebble soils from the Rhône.

Winemaking: Fermentation in stainless tank with temperature control, and aged in concrete.

Mirroring the West Coast of the good ole U.S. of A. this fresh little number is bound to delight. With a strong fresh citrus and sweet tropical fruits dance in your mouth and combine with caramel and toffee to wrap it all together.Tasting notes: Toasted caramel, USA hops, bold, & warming.

When it comes to Hazy IPAs, we love 'em juicy, session-worthy and full of flavour. Mellow fellow is smooth, quenching and to the point. Like a tropical getaway,  sometimes you just need to Mellow my Fellow.

Light malts make a mellow base. Sabro in the whirlpool, Idaho Seven and Citra Dry Hopped bringing massive notes of tropical fruit, citrus and hints of pine.

An ongoing series of occasional one-off releases inspired by the nice ideas captured in our Lyall Bay Brewery.

 José Luis Ripa is a fan of more 'serious' rosés (think Pibarnon, Trevallon, Tempier and the poster child of extended ageing Viña Tondonia).  His day job is commercial director at a well known winery in Haro, but in 2016 he managed to get hold of some old-vine fruit from the Najerilla Valley, a tributary of the Ebro, and made his first vintage of Ripa Rosado. The wine is mainly Garnacha with a touch of Tempranillo, the must is drawn-off slowly, then fermented and aged for 18-24 months in large oak vats, called bocoyes in Rioja. He only made 3,000 bottles in the first year, he's gradually increasing that, without losing the artisan vision of the project. After all, he has his wife María José López de Heredia to keep him focused!

A little deeper and probably more lactic than the 2019, but a little less exuberant. There are more dried herbs and minerals, with dried grapefruit and a touch of Aperol. Unique in style, which makes you think of a young Lopez de Heredia rosado (and you wouldn't be surprised if you find who makes this). Textured, full and harmonious despite higher alcohol. Cheerful and unassuming at the same time.

Sinker has, yep you guessed it, depth. With a clean malt base and a touch of Gladiator and Wheat for body, the NZ and US Hops have a solid foundation to shimmer upon. Plunge into Riwaka, Motueke, Kohatu, El dorado Eukanot and Idaho 7 for citrus, tropical, stone fruit and berry flavours.

We love our American cousins. But sometimes they can be kind of full on. So we've crafted this beer to more British Tastes. Hoppy, fruity and dry, ours is a drinkable 4%. Made with American hops, just less shouty.
