Described as a ‘special reserve’ of the Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, the expression is bottled at 40% ABV and contains less sugar than the original Perla Dry.

Perla Dry was previously made in ‘very limited quantities’, with its final production dating back to the 1970s.

The new Maraschino Perla Dry Bicentenary Reserve is limited to 4,999 bottles, with 1,500 reserved for Italy.

The liqueur comes in an antique green-blue glass bottle, and a gift box with a booklet and a commemorative pin.

Family-owned Luxardo distillery was founded by Girolamo Luxardo in 1821. Based in Torreglia, Italy, Luxardo’s products are available in 83 markets worldwide, with a major presence in the liqueurs, candied cherries and confectionery sectors.
In 2017, Luxardo expanded its liqueur range with the launch of Bitter Bianco, before releasing Sour Cherry Gin a year later.

Hayden is a proud Hawke’s Bay local and is excited to bring you Organised Chaos wines.
Organised Chaos was an obvious choice in name as it reflects Hayden’s life, mind and soul.
When asked what makes his wine so successful, his answer is “Always ask why and why not”. It’s this attitude that has led him to focus on soil health as the way to grow great wines,
“In this day and age we cannot let the chaos get the better of us. Embrace it, nurture it, love it”

This month we release a few new wines with the Organised Chaos Pet Nat Rose being available - last month we released the Gamay Noir and Syrah

ABC. Abandoned Brewing Co. Story
It was a dream abandoned in a place joy forgot. Among the cobwebs and grime in an old factory in Epuni, Lower Hutt were the remnants of a brewery left for dead. A hapless experiment, an abandoned jumble of mismatched parts, the broken bones of a brewery lay forgotten. Brought back to life but this time done right. Abandoned Brewery, a true micro-brewery with a never- say-die attitude and a deep belief in the craft, an arsenal of ideas and calm amongst the chaos...this monster lives

07/06/2021

Abandoned Brewing from Lower Hutt loves the cans, get amongst the range and try that juicy West Coast IPA and Hazy #4 if time - beautiful examples!

KAWA GROVE WINES & MEAD

In 2009 we planted our first vines with the intention of producing a small amount of wine solely for our own consumption.
The grapes had to be organically grown and the wine made without any additives of any kind. Today we still adhere to these principles growing and making our wines as naturally as possible: - hand-picked grapes, foot crushed, fermented by wild yeast, unfiltered, bottled by hand and NOTHING ADDED.
Growing right on the wild West Coast of New Zealand our vines exist in very demanding conditions: - tough ground and burning salt laden winds. This results in very low crops of smaller, full flavoured berries and we believe this, along with our strict viticultural regime, produces wines of depth and flavour.
During the growing season we spend many hours amongst the vines taking out laterals and excess or weak shoots and at veraison (when the grapes start to change colour) we remove many bunches and even reduce the size of some to ensure our crop levels are kept low.
The work on the vines can be repetitive at times but knowing we are not being exposed to toxic chemical sprays and being accompanied by the hum of bees, bird song and the croaking of frogs in the pond makes it a pleasure, not a chore.

31/05/2021

This time along from Great Little Vineyards we let Grafetta, Heron's Flight and Mahana but now we have Kawa Grove and Francois de Nicolay on the portfolio.

Francois De Nicolay - BURGUNDY
Domaine Chandon de Briailles has been in the family since 1834. Initially there were only the Savigny-lès-Beaune and Pernand-Verglesses vineyards. Coming from two mono-varietals (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) our wines strongly express all the authenticity of their terroir. Our Grands Crus are cultivated in the traditional method with the use of our own plough horses that unpack and give oxygen to the soils. This allows the sub-soil micro-life beneath to help feed and give nutrients to our vines.

Our philosophy is a holistic respect for life that translates to balanced, healthy grapes with the capacity to produce vibrant, pure and seductive wines, so in 2005 we completely converted to biodynamic farming. We applied for certification with EcoCert and Demeter, which we received in 2011. The longer we continue farming in this way, we can see the difference in the vines. They grow differently; they seem more alive and healthy, and at harvest they are better balanced between acidity and aromas.

Finally arrived the class of Gran Orendain Tequila, limited supplies but this will back up the Don Julio, Corralejo and Los Arango shipments that arrived recently,

Now another new listing to the portfolio is Broken Hive, this meadery is based out of Cromwell with a passion to educate. Not a beer or a wine, Mead is unique fermented beverage and the world's oldest one at that. Mead is essentially fermeted honey, though because of its viscosity water is always added to varying degrees to make it a drinkable beverage. As a honey product, Mead is a low impact sustainable beverage. It doesn't require farming or chemicals to produce honey and bee populations are protected and encouraged by the honey industry in NZ.

Secondly from Eruption:
This has been created by Eruption artist L.A.Buckett and extends his amazing collection of hand drawn characters that feature on all our bottles.

The Lighthouse IPA is a stunner, a sparkling 1.9% low ABV, low carb brew dry hopped with with Taiheke and Amarillo for a fresh flavour and a grapefruit citrus nose. If you are looking for a low alcohol option but don't want to compromise on hops and flavour then Lighthouse is perfect for you.

SINCE 1975 - WORLDWIDE UMBRELLA BRAND, ESTABLISHED BY PRINZ LUITPOLD VON BAYERN - THE END OF THE HISTORY
At the age of 25, Prince Luitpold of Bavaria took over the management of the family brewery at Kaltenberg Castle. Going against the trend, he initially decided to produce a dark beer and König Ludwig Dunkel quickly became a cult beer. Prince Luitpold successfully developed the royal brands by creating various beer styles that appeal to modern beer drinkers but remain true to the family tradition and recipes. Besides being a worldwide ambassador for his beer, he also continues the heritage culturally: the Kaltenberg Ritterturnier, the Jousting Tournament which he founded, is now the largest of its kind in the world.

03/05/2021

Stoked for Finney and the crew at Emporium!

Flensburger Pilsner (Germany)
Flensburger’s flagship product is their renowned north German Pilsner. Unmistakable in character & hoppiness, each round punctuated with distinctive “plop” of the next bottle’s swing-top.
ABV: 4.8% | STYLE: German Pilsener
There were good reasons why five citizens of Flensburg signed the document that set up the Flensburg Brewery on 6th September 1888. They had found an ideal site, a glacier spring with crystal-clear water for brewing and a way of obtaining the ice needed for the lagering cellars.
In the 1930s Flensburg Private Brewery developed into one of the largest breweries in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein under the management of Emil Petersen, an honorary consul. He was able to unite everyone’s efforts on a single goal, and he knew what successful brewing was all about: experience and continuity. His farsightedness led the Flensburg Brewery on the road to success.
Even in the 1960s when all other breweries switched to less expensive crown corks, Emil Petersen stayed true to the swing-top bottle, which still is a characteristic feature of our Flensburger beers to this day. Our swing-top bottle and the plop' sound when opening it have long been our beer’s trademark – and made us one of the world’s most successful breweries in the swing-top segment.

Another great way to explore the world of beer Beer

BREWAUCRACY RETRACTION - American IPA
Brewaucracy Ltd. would like to retract the statement made in error by one of its Directors that "Brewaucracy will never brew an IPA". This statement was clearly misguided, and does not reflect the backward looking, progress impeding nature of bureaucracy which we so dearly strive to achieve. We hope this affront to progress you hold in your hand serves as suitable apology.

Brewaucracy is about making traditional (and sometimes less traditional) styles with integrity and heart since 2011. They're not trendy. They just love good beer, and they want to make it for you.
