A complex aroma of black plum and cocoa, black olive, with fine cedary notes and hints of leather, star anise, clove and aromatic spices. The palate is plush and rich, with seamless tannins and concentrated black Doris plum flavours, complex spice notes and a long savoury finish. This wine will improve with cellaring.

A great Syrah made from grapes grown onto different sites in the Gravels, including clay soils and limestone soils, which provide different depths of flavour and complexity to the grapes. The wine is deep purple in colour and flavour with approachable floral prettiness and appeal supported by notes of clove, one of the hallmarks flavours of Syrah. The finished wine was aged for 17 months in French oak, includes small 228 litre and larger 500 & 600 litre puncheons, 29% new.

This is a complex spicy little number with deliciously approachable smoothness and body. A welcome new addition to winemaker Gordon Russell's Esk Valley wines.

Brave Brewing - World famous in Hastings.  Bottle rocket, or 'EPA' as it's known around here, is a soft, aromatic extra pale ale that celebrates the Simcoe hop and it's delicious tropical, citrusy and piney notes.  A pale ale with that little bit extra!

Winemakers Rod and Emma Easthope make one of New Zealand's few Gamays from the Two Terraces Vineyards in Maraekakaho, Hawke's Bay. It's a vineyard owned by Ian Quinn, a fellow lover of the velvet smooth reds that the Gamay grape is capable of making. 

This lovely wine is made from hand picked grapes, which were whole bunch fermented, foot stomped and aged in a combination of old oak puncheons and stone eggs.

Bottled unfined, unfiltered and unsulphured.

Brave Brewing - The People's Pils is deliciously simple and brings together clean, crisp malts and a zesty, noble hop character.  Fermented with a German lager yeast, this is a proper old school crushable pilsner, brewed for the people.

4.8% ABV.

Black Barn's most awarded wine. With aromas of stone fruit and citrus, layered with toast and spice from 100% barrel fermentation and extended barrel ageing.

The family owned Beach House Wines turns out an impressive range of wines, including this super refreshing rose, which is made in a dry style with minimal skin contact to provide a pale colour, which is currently the trend in international roses. 

This is a fresh, dry, fruit driven red with a crisp finish. Great for a summer day or a winter's afternoon. 

A powerful Chardonnay that is unmistakably rich and creamy with a clear message to 'drink me now', which is Clearview Estate winemakers Tim Turvy and Matt Kirby's aim here. Bells and whistles, big and buttery. This wine derives its flavours from eight months in French oak, which provides barrel ferment characters of malolactic creaminess, balanced by fresh acidity. 

Clearview Estate was founded by winemaker Tim Turvey, who remains as owner and overseeing winemaker of the winery, vineyards and restaurant.
