NO ELEPHANTS WERE HARMED WHILE MAKING THIS B**R. BUT THAT'S IRRELEPHANT WHEN IT COMES TO HYPERBOOST HOPS Back by popular demand, this re-brew is built on a base of Motueka for that bright citrus-lime lift, then layered up with Krush Hyperboost from Yakima Chief Hops - a shiny weapon designed to supercharge aroma and push Krush character into overdrive. Bright, punchy, and dialled right up again. 3.7%abv

Production :
Alex Favier sources the grapes for his Vin de France Rouge from land the family owns in the Vaucluse; grapes for this come from 2 lieu-dits in Travaillan to the west of Gigondas – La Marteillère with clay soil for the Grenache & L’Hers on limestone for the Carignan, vines are 30 years old. Hand-harvested and de-stemmed, short maceration in concrete for the Grenache plus aging in 5 yr old Burgundy barrels for the Carignan to round out the tannins.

Tasting notes:
Fresh, ripe red berries with a touch of forest floor on the nose. Robust flavours of red and black cherries, a pinch of spice and some smooth tannins, definitely punching above its modest Vin de France classification.

Food match:
Great on its own or with pasta, grilled lamb and ratatouille.

Production: Made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes cultivated in Montresor's vineyards in the Valpolicella Classico zone (north-west of Verona). The grapes are hand harvested at the end of October. The late harvested grapes are dried out for four months (until February of the following year) and then crushed. The must is fermented in stainless steel for four months. The w**e is aged in Slavonian oak casks and small French barrique for two years.

Tasting notes: Hints of coffee and chocolate on the nose with ripe crushed berry, bitter cherry and sweet plummy fruit on the palate - backed by notes of bitter chocolate. Rich and warming yet fresh and well-balanced, with supple tannins and a rich texture.

Food match: Excellent with red meats, game or hard cheeses, especially Parmesan.

Production:
Two select parcels of fruit were handpicked then hand sorted upon arrival at the w**ery before being de-stemmed and transferred by gravity to small open top fermenters - one parcel with approximately 15% whole bunches included, and another with approximately 30% whole bunches. The must was cold soaked for up to seven days before warming and fermenting naturally, with the cap gently plunged up to three times daily to gain maximum colour and fl avour extraction. Following ferment, individual batches remained on skins with gentle maceration for an additional two weeks to enhance tannin structure before being gently pressed and settled for 48 hours prior to being run to 225L barrels (40% New) to complete a natural Malolactic fermentation.

Tasting notes:
The Super Nanny Pinot Noir has a complex and seductive nose, showing ever changing layers of plums, bramble, sweet baking spice, and an ethereal floral lift. The palate is rich upon entry, flowing on to a platform of dark berry fruits, dried herbs, and spice. Fine velvety tannins lead towards a bright and persistent finish.

Food match Will pair well with chargrilled meat, pork ribs and Jerk chicken.

New England IPA | 6% ABV. A bigger, juicier, IPA version of our petite pintsman - Small Man’s Wetsuit. Dry hopped with the classic Idaho 7, Motueka, and Citra combo - expect awesome aromas of citrus to dominate the hefty, hazy body. Majestic.

Production:
Produced from 15-30 year old Garnacha vines from selected vineyards at 500-600m altitude and 10 year old Syrah vines. The poor stony, sandy soils, low night-time temperatures and moderate yields give grapes with excellent colour, extract and acidity. Fermented at 22-25C with 15 days maceration followed by 3 months maturation in French oak barriques (new or 2nd year).

Tasting notes: Intense ripe plum and cherry aromas combine with sweet toasty oak on the nose. A rich, warm, generous palate with concentrated blackberry fruit, backed by acidity and ripe tannins. Good concentration with coffee and spicy vanilla notes - bright through to the finish.

Food match Try with meaty, full-flavoured sausages, or steak with peppercorn sauce.

This Mango Fruit Sour is based on a recipe we made all the way back in 2017! We’ve packed 500kg of mango puree into this ripe and juicy sour, coating every last drop with rich tropical aromas. We’ve left the mango completely unaffected by any other adjuncts, allowing this luscious fruit to shine all on its own. Pumping up the ABV to 8% we've reduced the residual sugars to focus on the natural tartness locked away in mango and giving it a big old punch. Mango Fruit Sour is sunshine embodied in a glass.

Production
Fruit is sourced from a vineyard in Monterey, California’s Central Coast region and sit next to a chain of hills which separate the vineyards from the Pacific coast. The site benefits from the cooling breezes from the Pacific and as such lends itself to Pinot Noir. Fruit is destemmed before undergoing a period of cold maceration. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and 30% of the blend has then spent 8 months on medium toast French oak.

Tasting notes This w**e combines delicious red cherry and dried cranberry concentration, with a touch of dark spice.

The palate has wild bramble and cherry pie notes. It finishes bright, fresh and gently toasty.

Food match Pair with nduja topped pizza, crispy duck pancakes in hoisin sauce or Quorn spag-bol.
