Wolfburn Distillery's fourth small-batch release, named Batch 155. Consisting of just 5300 bottles in total, it is the first whisky from Wolfburn to have been matured in one type of cask (first-fill ex-bourbon barrels for close to five years) then finished in another (six months in port hogsheads). 

The results are superb: a smooth, rich, easy drinking whisky, rich in colour and with a depth of sweet flavours from the port influence. Like previous Wolfburn small-batch releases, Batch 155 was named after the warehouse in which the casks were matured (Warehouse 1), and the specific row in which the casks were located (row 55).

Beautiful soft red fruited Pinot Noir from the original Lowburn Ferry Vineyard in Central Otago. This is a great wine with stature and power. 

Southward Distilling is a Wellington based company turning fresh New Zealand grown ingredients into deliciously refreshing spirits. This blood orange gin has a beautifully balanced bitterness from orange peel combined with the sweetness of the juice come together to form a taste of refreshing citrus, balanced by a background of juniper. Its vibrant colour is perfect for summer gin and tonics.

Blast off on a tropical wave of haze!

Sweet, tart and juicy - a daydream sipper with notes of fresh-cut citrus and pine
and a lush squeeze of pink grapefruit juice to keep your head in the clouds.

On a good day in Wellington you can find us in Newtown, rolling around Riddiford St in pursuit of rad times. This beer has a full, tropical palate with fresh fruit aromas and a crisp juiciness that will keep you refreshed from the bar to the house party.

This is one of our best Pinot Noirs under $25 and consistently exceptional drinking at this price, thanks to fruit forward flavours of red cherries which are underpinned by refreshing acidity kept in balance by an under tow of savoury, earthy flavours. 

It's made by Martinborough winemaker John Douglas, who owns a small vineyard on Te Muna Road, 9 kilometres west of Martinborough village. This four hectare plot of organically certified vineyard land is home to the grapes that go into this excellent Pinot Noir, which over delivers on value, flavour and style.

Te Muna Valley has the same stony soils as vineyards the better known  vineyards around Martinborough village. It also has a slightly windier, slightly cooler climate, both factors that combine to make for challenges in the volume of grapes produced but exceptional depth of flavour in the great wines from this valley. 

Not all days are for going BIG! When in the mood for something light in Alc/Vol, but full of flavour, our EddyLite Pale ale is the ticket! This double dryhopped session pale ale is sure to please!

2.5% ABV.

Our most popular beer, Dragon APA has a slightly sweet aroma with citrus and herbal pine flavours from Mosaic and Falconer’s Flight hops.

The use of Gladfield’s American Ale, Wheat and Medium Crystal malts provide an excellent base for a medium bodied and quaffable APA.

APA - 5.7% ABV.

Smooth, dark and full bodied blend of four Portuguese red grape varieties. Castelão, Camarate, Tinta Miúda and Preto Martinho combine to make this wine rich, dark and fruity in flavour with its dry, spicy style. If you had to name a modern European country, Portugal may be one of the last places to spring to mind but wines like these highlight a new wave of wines now pouring out of this most western European country. And best of all, most of them are made using traditional, indigenous, little known grapes that have always grown in Portugal, such as the four that make up this beautiful robust, smooth, velvety red.

Alpha Domus winery was founded in 1989 and its name is an anagram of the owners' names, Anthonius, Leonard, Paulus and Henrikus. Domus is Latin for home. 

They named this soft, chocolatey and plush Merlot after the classic 1932 Fox Moth aircraft, which helped open the world up to travel and adventure. This dry, smooth and full bodied red also opens up new worlds of flavour and shows why Merlot is the most planted red grape in Hawke's Bay - it works a treat there. 

There's a saying "plant pears for your heirs", which is why several years after grafting over to perry pears, we still have a limited crop. For our 2021 vintage, we have blended these tannin bombs with Taylor's Gold pears and added a few Egremont Russet apples to bring a little acidity to the blend.

The result is a smooth, creamy perry with a modest natural sweetness.

Fruit: Perry pear (unidentified), Taylor's Gold, Egremont Russet
Residual sugar: 9g/l
Aged: 6 months in oak and steel

Trois Monts refers to three hills in Flanders: Mont Noir, Mont Cassel and Mont de Cats. 

3 Monts is a great example of a classic pale biere de garde, pouring a medium-gold with a fluffy white head. Fresh zesty hops give it a big nose full of citrus and hay notes. On the palate there is a heap of grassy hop flavour, sweet rich pale malt character and a firm bitter finish. The full bodied malty palate gives way to a bitter finish.

A silver tequila from Arette, this was launched in 2007 and is made at the El Llano distillery, which has been owned by the Orendain family since the early 20th century. This is bottled on site in Jalisco.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Creamy aromas. Hints of lemongrass, fresh herbs, baked agave notes.

Palate: Roasted, slightly vegetal palate. Lemon and lime, hints of blossom and vanilla.

Finish: Slightly short finish with a little spice.
