ALMIGHTY SPARKLING WATER

ATAAHUA WAIPARA ROSÉ

DIPLIMATICO RESERVE RUM

Where do we start with this gem? No sugar, zero plastic packaging, vegan, and 10 per cent of profits help teach kids about growing, cooking, and eating their own healthy fruits and vegetables in hands-on lessons in school gardens. Peach paired with ginger extract infuses sparkling water with a deliciously fragrant and refreshing taste.

Handcrafted from North Canterbury’s finest fruit, this rosé is deliciously dry in style, with an elegantly expressed bouquet of fresh raspberry, red apple, lemon, and floral characters. The palate is light and bright, and offers delicate fruit weight and fine texture, finishing crisp and lively. Serve as an apéritif with prosciutto wrapped melon.

Diplomatico’s Reserva Exclusiva is a complex blend of copper pot still rums that have been aged in oak barrels for 12 long years. Its characterful sweet nose shows notes of fruit cake, vanilla ice cream, cocoa, toffee, and sweet spices. This all leads onto the palate, which is rich and extremely well balanced. It’s also currently one of the world’s most awarded rums.
