We get very giddy about the festive season and we’re now particularly excited to be offering a couple of special holiday drinks packs. These come in packs of 3 and 6 and feature a selection of bottles from some of our favourite growers which we think are well-suited to the warmer months – either as party time bottles to splash around or as thoughtful accompaniments to long holiday lunches.
The price of this 3-bottle pack is $135.00 — offered with a 10% discount off the regular retail value of $151.00 — and includes:
Francois Blanchard Biere 2021 wild ale
A generous but very refreshing spontaneous fermented ale, this is full of delicious estery fruit, supporting lactic acidity, pithy bitterness and gently sweet malt character. It’s an excellent proposition for the park, ideally served alongside some washed rind cheese. While Francois Blanchard is best known for his breathtaking wines, every year we eagerly await the release of his beer, which he makes in small quantities with ingredients purchased from Germany.
Andi Weigand White 2023
A direct-press blend of bacchus, silvaner, muller thurgau and scheurebe, from young Franken winemaker Andi Weigand. This is aromatic, energetic, fresh and direct, with citrus and a whisper of more tropical fruit – typical of the varieties – and with a lovely mixture of pulpy primary fruit and more crystalline nuance from the time in barrel.
Halcyon Days Vermillion 2023 sangiovese rosé
A dark rosé or ultra-light red, made from some of the only sangiovese vines in Aotearoa by Amy and Olly Hopkinson-Styles. Picked a bit earlier and vinified in stainless steel, this is light, fresh and incredibly pure in its expression of tart red varietal fruit. One of the most sought-after wines in the shop, and for good reason!
Pack #2 includes 6 bottles and can be purchased here.
