This outstanding Malbec is made from grapes grown high altitude vineyards in Mendoza, which were fermented with wild yeasts for 12 days with post ferment maceration for 19-22 days followed by 12 months aging in barrel, including first, second and third use barrels. It tastes smooth, dark, full bodied, fleshy, succulent and complex… An incredible red wine.

Argentina’s signature grape, Malbec, was introduced to the country’s biggest wine region, Mendoza, by Frenchman Michel Pouget in the mid 1850s, but it has since been discovered that not all Malbec vines brought into the country were exactly the same. And the family that has done more to advance the understanding, high quality expression and understanding of Argentinian Malbec is the Catena family, whose Zapata Malbec is one of our favourite wines in store; big, bold and full bodied but with elegance to burn, thanks to its silkiness. 

The Catena family has arguably done more for the quality and reputation of both Malbec and the Argentinian wine industry than any other company, advancing the understanding of growing grapes at altitude, high up in the foothills of the Andes where hot days, high sunshine hours and cool nights ripen the grapes and retain elegance.

The Yuzu is Japanese citrus fruit.  That has a great balance of sweet and sour.  This Yuzu liqueur is made from a base of Original Junmai Saké and locally grown Yuzu is then blended.  (8 whole fruit per 720ml are used)  It is best on the rocks.

Crafted by Japanese artisans, Roku is a multi-layered, perfectly balanced Gin combining both traditional and 6 uniquely Japanese Botanicals.

Sakura Flower, Yuzu Peel, Sencha tea, Sansho pepper, Sakura leaf & Gyokuro tea

43% ABV.

Scoundrels and Rogues - Sometimes, bigger is better.  Made by the most irrepressible Scoundrels and Rogues in North Canterbury, this Pear cider was made from the contents of only a few pear trees, fermented in barrels, and then promptly forgotten about for six months.  It gives new meaning to the term rustic, as it's made in a very traditional French farmhouse style, with a strong pear character.  You may love it, you may hate it, but i'm not sure i'm too bothered either way.

This Pear cider is rustic and funky, but you'll get over it.

Dictador 12 Years Rum is made from the fermentation of virgin sugar cane honey distilled partly in copper alembic and partly in steel continuous column, to achieve a medium body rum.

Soft and round feel in the mouth with caramel, cocoa, and honey light coffee flavours.

The classic Irish style dry stout . Toasty, black and medium bodied. The nitrogenated can pours a big creamy head.

Hand picked grapes from Karl Johner's estate vineyard in Gladstone make this medium bodied rosé which is full of flavour and juicy fruit appeal. It's so flavoursome that it tastes more like a pale red wine than a typical pink wine. This is mouthwatering with red berries flavours of strawberry and watermelon notes adding freshness. It's nicely balanced by fresh acidity.  

Drink lightly chilled.

Fever Tree - By blending the essential oils from the flowers, fruits and herbs that we have gathered from around the Mediterranean shores with highest-quality quinine from the 'fever trees' of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we have created a delicate, floral tonic water.

Rich and smooth, packed with delectable NZ Blackberries and lashings of sweet Vanilla. Be warned, this is divinely moreish.

This limited release gin is a showcase of what juniper can deliver.

For six months, we macerated hand-foraged, wild-grown, Macedonian juniper in neutral spirit. We then distilled that macerate with additional juniper and a dash of New Zealand-grown orris root.

With lifted pine resin and fresh citrus leaping out of the glass; bright floral notes and earthy undertones add complexity. This is a real juniper lovers gin.
