Roots "22" Old Tom Gin.

A LIMITED RELEASE expression of Roots Gin created entirely by the winners of the 2022 Show Us Your Roots Cocktail Competition.

With ingredients inspired by the winning cocktails and produced into a finished product by the three champion bartenders, the Roots "22" Old Tom Gin is built over the core four Roots botanicals with the addition of pink peppercorn, ginger root and manuka smoked Golden Syrup.

A smooth, botanical driven off-dry gin expressing notes of juniper, earthy spice and caramelised melon over a soft grapefruit and pink pepper aromatic.

Best served neat, mixed with ginger ale or in a classic cocktail.

Bottle numbered and limited to a single batch of only x500 bottles.

Citadelle Rouge is flavourful, crystal-clear and fresh.

It builds on the dry gin profile of our original 19 botanicals with an intense burst of lusciously tart berries, underscored by the tang of piquant rhubarb. Fruit-forward, but all-natural, this red fruit essence glows on the palate but remains crystal clear in the glass!

Balancing a unique expression of Roots Marlborough Dry Gin with an organic Marlborough pinot noir wine, harvested from biodynamically certified grapes. A classic juniper forward London Dry gin as a base supported by signature Roots botanicals of juniper, coriander, grapefruit, hops and native kawakawa alongside the aromatic angelica and orris roots.

The “Witteke” is a typical beer from the past made by farm-based breweries.

The craft brewers used the best ingredients from their own harvest. Blanche de Bruxelles owes its natural cloudiness to the presence of wheat (40%) and intense aromatics due to the addition of coriander and dried orange peel.

You will note its freshness and refinement upon tasting, typical for this extraordinary white beer. The brewing method, which includes the gradual addition of hot water, takes a long time.

Just like all the other beers produced by Lefebvre, this beer is not filtered. If served correctly, it produces a cloudy beer with a white head

A Classic Belgian Dark beer. Lightly smoked with notes of nut and caramel.

This beer has reddish brown body and a good white head.  The aroma has hints of plums, cherries and raisins, as well as some light spicing and deep candied sweetness.

The taste is not as sweet as the nose might suggest, being a nice balance of candied fruit and caramel malt backbone against a little roasted bitterness and spicing.

The Bornem Red has a saturated amber color with a beautiful white head, the aroma of hops and citrus in combination with the taste of red wine, berries and sweets makes this beer one of a kind!

Bornem Tripel is a “lively” abbey beer of 9% content alcohol that after its first fermentation in the barrel, evolves during its second fermentation in the bottle or in the barrel. Abbey tripels are mostly blonde or light amber in colour.

The Bornem Tripel tastes hoppy and full with an excellent sweet-bitter balance. Its pleasant scent and nice foam head make this beer a winner in its kind. Bornem Tripel is a powerful beer to enjoy as dessert or as appetizer. Some prefer it with mussels or other seafood. This abbey beer also suits excellent with a hearty cheese platter

Our Verdejo 100% signature wine is made from vineyards planted between 1962 and 1991.  These are family-owned and from selected old vineyards which allows us to blend the soil range complexity from the Appellation of Origin Rueda.

Vineyard: The soil, made up of round pebble layers, low in organic matter, develops some limestone outcrops on the higher levels. The local climate, continental with Atlantic influence, forces the vine roots to go deep in search of water.

Wine making process: Must ferments in stainless steel, concrete and older wooden vats. After fermentation, the wine rests on its lees for four months. This blend is what makes our wine José Pariente Verdejo unique.

Vintage: The year 2020 was defined by mild temperatures in winter and summer, without extreme temperatures and significant rainfalls in the spring. All these elements contributed to a slow and balanced ripering process. These conditions resulted into a vintage 2020 of great intensity and aromatic definition. Fresh fruit (remarkable citrus) and balsamic character (anise flavour and menthol) especially stand out.

Tasting: Brilliant straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. Complex, fresh, elegant and high intense aroma. It has a markedly fruity tone that spans the range of white fruits and citrus. There are also hints of fennel and garrigue on a balsamic aniseed ground. All of it over a mineral base.

On the palate: fresh fruity notes appear again. Unctuous and elegant, with a slight touch of bitterness at the end, typical of Verdejo, backed by a good acidity. Very good structure favours a lingering wine. Complex and intense aftertaste.

Food pairing: Suitable for appetizers, fish, seafood, pasta, rice and white meat. It also pairs well with smoked food, soft cheese and sausage specialties.

This is a pronounced skin contact expression of the Amphora Albarino with dried apricots, quince & orange rind notes. Appealing phenolic texture with treacle & marmalade, finishing with freshness.

As I was pressing the Albarino, (which had been macerating on skins for two weeks) the 'skins' portion began to turn a bright orange colour. I separated this amber portion into puncheon & barrel.

Later down the ageing track the pressings component from the Amphora Albarino announced itself as its own wine. So I paid attention and gave it its own voice.

The whole bunches were hand harvested, de-stemmed and macerated on the skins for two weeks time. A very light daily hand plunge and the addition of my active vineyard starter yeast which fermented underneath the vines. Biodynamic preparations 500, CPP were applied to the soil through out the year, as well as silica quartz (501) to the canopy.

An American style barleywine with a robust hop profile. Complex toffee and caramel aromas from the rich malt backbone.
Bottle conditioned. Cellar for up to 2 years.
