BEVERAGES
WINE
Hunters MiruMiru NV (Marlborough) - A refined traditional-method sparkling from one of Marlborough's founding wine families. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir create creamy berry fruit, biscuity richness, and fine bubbles with a lingering finish.
Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough) - A textbook, classically dry Sauvignon Blanc — bright, zesty, and wonderfully expressive. Bursting with juicy citrus and subtle tropical notes, beautifully balanced by a refined saline acidity. Fresh, poised and moreish.
Kumeu Village Pinot Gris (Kumeu, Auckland) - A refreshing Pinot Gris with notes of pear, apple, and floral hints, offering a smooth and elegant finish.
Clearview Coastal Chardonnay (Hawke's Bay) - Bright aromas of citrus, apricot, and toasted cashew mingle with subtle hessian and flinty notes. The palate is bold yet refined, driven by lively acidity and long, intense flavour.
Te Mata Syrah (Hawke's Bay) - New Zealand's oldest winery crafting elegant, silky Syrah. Layers of red plum, spice, and soft tannins, beautifully balanced.
Peregrine Saddleback Pinot Noir (Central Otago) - Bright aromas of wild strawberry, black cherry and brown spice lead to a luscious palate of blueberry, plum and mocha. A pure, fruit-focused expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir with supple tannins and great depth.
PRE-MIX DRINKS
Free AF Apero Spritz (Auckland) - A vibrant, bittersweet orange take on the Italian classic. Refreshing and beautifully balanced.
Scapegrace Gin, Soda & Yuzu (Central Otago) - Crafted at New Zealand's largest distillery on the 45th parallel. Juicy, citrusy, and lightly sweet with a smooth finish.
