Strange Nature Distilling

NATURE FLAVOURS THE STRANGE This innovative spin on a traditional gin goes against the grain and has been grown from grapes. That's right - not flavoured, but grown! We're proud to present Strange Nature: a premium New Zealand gin made from the spirit of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and bearing all the quintessential flavours of its unique origins. RECENT AWARDS Innovation trophy at the New Zealand Spirit Award. Awarded a Gold Medal at the international Gin Masters competition held in London. Received a special commendation for design and packaging at The Drinks Business Awards. HOW DOES IT TASTE? Aromatic and fruity, it's part tropical and zesty, part herbaceous. Enjoy sweet notes and savoury hits in every sip. Sweet: Fresh Pineapple, Candied Grapefruit, A Touch Of Kaffir Lime, And Blood Orange. Savoury: Piney Juniper, Blackcurrant Leaf, And Fresh Green Pepper. ONE BOTANICAL. THAT'S IT. The only botanical we use is the one that defines gin - Juniper. The rest of our stunning flavour and aroma profile comes from our unique base spirit - the spirit of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. HONEST ORI-GINS Some of our gin started life more than 15 years ago, when our grapevines took root in the ground. Over those 15 years, these vines have taken on the distinctive characteristics of their environment - absorbed through the soil and sun, and expressed each year in the fruit that is harvested to make wine. REMAKING THE MOULD When our friends at Giesen Wines began making alcohol-removed wine, they used these same grapes. Which gave us an idea. What if we could use the pure white spirit extracted from wine, to craft a unique, varietally expressive gin? NORMAL IS NOTHING After 18 months of trials, we settled on double distillation with juniper as an unexpectedly perfect marriage with our natural Sauvignon Blanc grape spirit. The proof is in the drinking - trust us, this flavour is as unforgettable as it is unique.
