The Ara Zero Rosé is a refreshing and bright rosé without alcohol. With flavours of strawberry, lime, and guava, with a delicious citrus crispness, it is balanced by a subtle sweetness with a delectably moreish finish. It is the perfect antipasto accompaniment. Best drunk with great company and great conversation in the sun or longing for its return.

Dunedin-based distillery No8 takes its spirits seriously. The awardwinning Hibiscus Gin is fruity and smooth, with notes of a country hedgerow. This pairs well with Fever Tree’s elderflower tonic. On top of being in seriously cool bottles, the distillery offers a bottle swap system, where you can refill to support its eco-friendly ethos.

Pegasus Bay’s Bel Canto Dry Riesling 2020 captures its growing season perfectly. Orange zest, quince, melon, beeswax, blossom, sweet spices, and flint provide a warm nose. A full-bodied palate follows, textured, with a pleasing mouthfeel. It’s a wine with a fresh and lovely tension; the refreshing acidity delivers a harmonious finish.
