Distilled at the site of the original Tuatara Brewery on our very own Kapiti Coast. Mates Chris & Simon have spent 2 years perfecting their Imagination Gin.
They start by distilling a dry gin with a little less spice and a little extra orris root for floral sweetness. They macerate raspberries in the gin for a month, strain, and add the juice they press from locally grown rhubarb.
We enjoy drinking with Strangelove No8 Tonic, a slice of lime and bruised mint.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
It is a great wine to drink. Always great to taste a fabulous chardonnay. Hope you can bring the Domaine Collotte Chardonnay. It will sell like very well in New Zealand. Please advise when it is available.
For this sort of money you could buy a decent NZ chard....but this wine transcends you to a small village to the east of the Rhone on a balmy summers night...once you have been there you will want to go back again and again
