A super fresh twist on our original Pilsner. 

Punchy citrus character from fresh hop NZH-109 out of Mac Hops in Upper Moutere.

This collision of a strong, clean Imperial Pilsner with generous fresh Riwaka is no accident. Bone Shaker gives you that crisp hit of a great Pils but then follows through with a robust hop profile, adding fruit and floral characters that go well beyond mere texture. Imperial-level strength helps push the hops and the firm, dry bitterness over the top. You might even lose your head over it.

Nothing lures you in like a great Fresh Hop IPA. In the glass you can contemplate it's clear orange hue, the tell-tale of a medium malt body. After a sniff and a sip you'll be hit with fresh Nelson Sauvin, floral and fruity with a bit of dank for added excitement. Finish your mouthful by adding a firm, dry bitterness to your beer nerd notes. Go on, sink your teeth into it.

Savitar is one of the great Shirazes from McLaren Vale, made with grapes grown on the Lopresti Vineyard's Chinese Block, located at the south end of McLaren Vale, about four kilometres east of the coastal town of Port Willunga. The vines struggle here, producing low yields of fruit with tiny berries which are full of black fruit flavours with dried herb, black olives and an earthy structure of dark smokiness, making this a power packed wine. 

It's named after a mythological dragon like creature, in homage to this wine's bold flavours and powerful length. It's an impressive wine for now and will undoubtedly age for the long haul - think a decade at least. 

The winemaking

Grapes for Savitar Shiraz are selected by hand from the Lopresti Vineyard in McLaren Vale, a site where they struggle and deliver in small volumes. This is regarded as outstanding raw material. They are fermented and the wine pressed before being transferred to oak barrels where it remains on light lees for 18 months before blending.

Selected from a small batch of casks laid down in 2012 at the Ardmore distillery, this new release from Signatory was matured in a unique type of cask - 2nd fill ex-bourbon barrels that were sourced from an undisclosed distillery on Islay (codenamed LA, suggesting Laphroaig). The nose opens with an industrial smokyness, evoking old workshops and savoury smoke. There is a touch of old hessian sacks and then a sweet barley tone that shifts to creamy and vanilla'd.

This brand-new Inchgower from Cadenhead has spent the final part of its 14 years of maturation in a most unusual type of cask: ex-PX sherry butts that previously held Springbank. The cask influence has imparted a delicate, peaty, musty and earthy quality not normally found in Inchgower. A rich, stewed raisin and warm toffee flavour builds to a nutty quality of honey roasted cashews, salted caramel and a delicate whiff of peat.

Sea Lovers Gin is a distinctive and delicious contemporary gin that subtly marries marine ingredients with more traditional botanicals, conjuring the essence of the sea into your glass. The wild harvested North Island kelp gives a lovely umami complexity to the nose and serves as a counterpoint to the brightness of the lime and rosemary. The palate is full and crisp with the oyster shells bringing a sophisticated minerality. Serve with quality light tonic or soda, a sprig fresh rosemary and twist of lime.
