This Reserva Tempranillo from Valdepenas is a great example of the quality coming out of Spain at the  moment.  Ripe and juicy, yet also with hints of oak and complexity.  Grapes from their oldest, low-yielding vineyards were combined with those of younger vines to create a blend of rich dark fruit with smooth vanilla and rich cocoa. 12 months in American oak barrels, followed by a further 24 months in the bottle add a silken texture to the blend.  Superb with hearty stews and char-grilled steaks as well as a variety of tapas.

"Dark cherry red with a savoury bouquet infused with redcurrant fruit and cake spices, then spicy and savoury to the taste with lifted red berry fruit, a touch of orange zest and peppery spices. There's a nice touch of smokiness coming through, underlying earthy notes and a long dry finish lifted by vanillin oak and mint. Tannins are firm yet the wine is ripe and juicy with a pleasing generosity. Fantastic presentation.  13% alc."

THE YARN BEHIND THE BREW

Born one of eleven children, John Edward Shewry, better known as Ned, grew up just outside the border of the Whangamomona Republic. At 17, Ned and his brother Archie went to work, clearing their family farm with just an axe, a saw and a box of matches. His elders soon saw Ned’s potential with the Axe and entered him into the local Wood Chopping competition. Disposing of the local competition, Ned would go on to win multiple world titles, setting world records along the way. His skills became legend that he could dehorn cattle with one swift swing.

This NZIPA delivers a hefty blow of Rakau and Nelson Sauvin from Clayton Hops, and was first brewed for Smith’s NZIPA Challenge 2024 in Queenstown, New Zealand.

Doug!A Nelson Sauvin & Motueka fresh hopped Pilsner for our favourite Doug.This guy’s a legend, we had to make sure we brewed a beer that would match him. Hailing from North Otago, it was only right to use the colours. Fresh hop, because Doug is fresh as f*#k!Distinct fresh Nelson Sauvin characters, we got the hops into the kettle less than 45 minutes after picking! Green, grassy, & complimented with juicy bubble gum flavours from late and dry hopping with Motueka!

We stepped out of our comfort zone brewing this chocolate-forward porter. Enjoy this aristocratic digestif with Windsor yeast, an English strain that is infinitely more stable than the Royal Windsors. This is not a pedantic marquee beer, but a refined cigar bar after-party porter for beer-drinking patricians. Experience notes of chocolate, coffee and Malagasy vanilla, just like your favorite biscotti. Drink it with your nose in the air in your fanciest dress.

Did we brew the beer for the pun, or the pun for the beer? We’ll never tell. Fawlty Sours is a new Berliner Weisse at 5.2% with basil and sourness at the forefront of every sip. Tangy, zesty and aromatic, this beer uses one hotel’s worth of fresh basil and lemon zest ending a spritzy, delicate beer, almost reminiscent of a cocktail
