The Glengarry Story
A Vinous Wave Rolls in From the West
Here's the thing: Glengarry is, no contest, the oldest independent family-owned and operated wine, beer and spirits retailer in New Zealand. Our proud local history stretches back five generations to the day in 1920 when my then 20-year-old grandfather, Josef Jakicevich, stepped off the boat from Croatia with little English, and pretty much nothing in his pockets except a healthy dose of optimism combined with a steely determination to succeed and a taste for hard work. What could possibly get in the way of that? Josef eventually set himself up on 10 acres in Glengarry Road in Oratia, West Auckland, where he planted a vineyard, setting the foundation for the enduring family business that was to come. In 1945 Josef applied one of the first two wineresellers’ licences issued in Auckland to the greengrocer’s shop he had previously opened at the corner of Jervois Road and Blake Street. That address became the first Glengarry wine store, as well as the current location of Dida’s Wine Lounge. In time, Josef's son Tony took over to become the guiding force that transformed Glengarry into New Zealand’s pre-eminent family wine merchant. The Government finally allowed wine shops to sell imported wines, and this gave Glengarry the opportunity to tap into a whole world of wine. Josef’s three grandsons became actively involved in managing the increasing number of stores. In the 1980s and 1990s they expanded Glengarry further, opening new shops in Auckland and Wellington and launching New Zealand’s first wine school, The Glengarry Wine Academy, from which thousands of wine aficionados have graduated. The fourth generation are well embedded in the family business, strapped in and raring to take hold of the steering wheel when they've fully proved themselves and put aside their L-plates. And the fifth generation? Well, they're still working on their Lego skills. Their day will come. All those years of hard work, innovation and experience translate into a handle on the wine, beer and spirits retail business that's unequalled in this country. Check out the photo: there's Dida Joe to the left, happily ensconced in the place where it all began, our Jervois Road store.

NEW ZEALAND
A REGIONAL ROAD TRIP NORTHLAND You don’t often hear discussion about the wines of Northland, yet Samuel Marsden planted the first vines near Kerikeri some 200 years ago. A little later James Busby, instrumental in establishing the Australian wine industry, planted near Waitangi. The current vineyards there are the fruits of the Croation migrants who, alongside gum digging, planted vines. NZ’s north suits heat-loving varieties and those that can withstand a somewhat tropical climate. Syrah and Tempranillo do well, as do Chardonnay and Pinot Gris.

The area was first planted in the early 1970s, and with 28 different grape varieties grown here, it's quite possible that Matakana contains more varietal diversity than any other New Zealand region. Owing to the variety of aspect, soil and the many different microclimates, a broad range of grapes from Albariño through to Nebbiolo flourish here.
HERON'S FLIGHT RESERVE SANGIOVESE $57.99
AUCKL AND Auckland’s viticultural landscape has changed, with many of its vineyards now gone. While we once had the likes of St Nesbit out in Karaka and Collards on Lincoln Road, to name just two, the region is these days more generally divided between Kumeu and Waiheke. With little to no similarity between the two, the former is particularly noted for the impressive Kumeu River and its world-class Chardonnays, while Waiheke has garnered much recognition for its Cabernet-based wines grown in Auckland's maritime oasis.

H AW K E S B AY With viticulture having taken root here in 1851, Hawkes Bay has been a significant force in the evolution of the New Zealand wine industry. The list of pioneers includes Mission Estate, Te Mata, Vidal, Taradale (now Church Road) and Glenvale (now Esk Valley). This is a vast region, with 1.4 million hectares spread along 350km of Pacific coastline. Over thousands of years, the valleys and terraces that provide the region's diversity were formed as the four main rivers moved, leaving behind everything from limestone sands to free-draining gravels. These two soil types favour the key varieties for the Bay, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, with forays into the hillsides also finding a welcoming home for Syrah. VIDEO

MARTINBOROUGH The Martinborough region is one of three parts of Wairarapa, or as we refer to it now, the Wellington wine region (the other two being Masterton and Gladstone). The region is renowned for its scintillating Pinot Noir, despite being home to only a small percentage of what is made nationally. The old vine age produces wines with an impressive complexity that sees them extremely sought-after, with the climate also encouraging the production of excellent Chardonnay and Riesling wines.

MARLBOROUGH Our largest wine region is home to Sauvignon Blanc, the variety that cemented New Zealand's position on the international wine map. Marlborough produces a unique expression of Sauvignon Blanc that takes what is special about NZ, i.e. our cool climate fruit verbosity and the bright, vibrant nature of our light, and generates a wine so singular that it couldn't have been made anywhere else. The more recent stars from Marlborough are Pinot Noir – with the grapes grown on the hillsides – and sparkling wines. For the very best of the latter, look for wines bearing the Methode Marlborough trademark.

While much of the talk is predictably about Pinot Noir, there are excellent aromatic wines to be found here as well, and the Chardonnay, when from the right clone in the right place, is incredibly good. Central Otago's sub-regions are where all the interest is, so while the broad brush approach is a great way to put the region collectively on the map, the future is in exploring the micro-differences.

THE JULES ROSÉ
$21.99
While known for her top-selling Sauvignon Blanc, Jules Taylor has also been something of a rosé trailblazer since 2009. For her 2020 vintage, Jules crafted a beautiful expression from Merlot grapes grown in Gisborne and sourced from a long-time family friend. In selecting Merlot and Gisborne, Jules found the vibrant strawberry notes that she sought for her rosé. It comes in a beautifully illustrated bottle that speaks to the hands-on approach to grape selection and flavours. Thankfully, these grapes were picked and safely back in the winery well ahead of New Zealand’s first lockdown. 2020 is a miracle vintage, in terms of the conditions that the wine was produced under, as well as the quality. A beautiful rosé bursting with summer fruits – dry, delicate, delicious.

Pinot Perfection
Two new barrels from Rockburn
Rockburn needs little introduction, the sheer quality and consistency winemaker Malcolm Rees Francis achieves the winery's signature. In producing their estate wine every year, they fill literally hundreds of oak barrels with Pinot Noir. As each is nursed by Malcolm on its journey through the cellars, they are regularly tasted. While one purpose of this is to monitor the evolution of the wine, the other is Malcolm’s quest to find the individual barrels that most eloquently speak of the vintage and the site. Those barrels are set aside as they are identified, destined for the barrel range. The name says it all: Eight Barrels, Eleven Barrels – you get the drift. This year’s barrel release is particularly unique in that there is not one on offer, but two. For the first time, there is a release that consists exclusively of Pinot Noir from Gibbston, and one made exclusively from the fruit of Parkburn.

A single vineyard wine from Parkburn. The fruit profile is all about power, a generous spirit and depth of flavour. This is a bold, structured, brooding wine, the opposite of the Eight Barrels. 100% clone 777, this spent 14 months in French oak with only 18% of that new, letting the powerful Parkburn fruit sing through, the dominance of cherry fruits in the wine a happy reflection of this area's affinity for cherry trees.

The fruit is off a single vineyard in Gibbston, a sub-region that is cooler in nature and doesn't ripen well every year. When it does, Gibbston can generate some of Central Otago's finest Pinot Noir expressions. There is a purity and textural seamlessness to the palate, with a fresh acidity that is key to this area’s elegance and finesse. Minimal handling, with 14 months in 75% new French oak. Sensational wine.

Laurent-Perrier
House of elegance & élan
Founded in 1812, Laurent-Perrier is recognised as one of the finest of France's champagne houses. It seems to be a tradition in Champagne to have a resolute widow take the reins, and so it was with Mathilde Emilie Perrier. When her husband Eugène Laurent died unexpectedly, Mathilde combined their surnames to create the Laurent-Perrier brand, developing the business, restoring the finances and masterfully maintaining the House during the Great War. Laurent-Perrier arrived in the hands of current owners, the de Nonancourt family, in 1939. A former French Resistance fighter, Bernard de Nonancourt injected a dynamic momentum into the business. Strongly attached to innovation, tradition and quality, he transformed Laurent-Perrier into a global brand, creating the signature House style of freshness, lightness and elegance. Upon Bernard's death in 2010, his two daughters, Alexandra Pereyre de Nonancourt and Stéphanie Meneux de Nonancourt took charge, ably assisted by Laurent-Perrier’s third Cellar Master, Michel Fauconnet.

Nature will probably never provide the perfect oenological year, but via the art of assemblage Laurent-Perrier attempts to create it. Grand Siècle is the blending of three outstanding years declared as vintages and chosen for their complementary traits to create a champagne where the resulting sum is greater than its already impressive parts. Fresh. Intense. Aromatic.

Four Pillars
A brilliant new addition to the core range
A JAR OF F O U R P IL L A R S GIN - S T E A M E D O R A N GE MARMAL ADE WITH E ACH BOT TLE OF R A R E D RY GIN
And the little golden statue for the International Gin Producer of the year goes to… Four Pillars Distillery! Well it’s not quite the Oscars, but in the Wine and Spirits world it's bigger. The International Wine and Spirits Competition is the pinnacle in the drinks business, and to be awarded this top honour in front of your peers from around the globe is a huge achievement. The award is not just in recognition of a single gin Four Pillars make, but a reflection of their gin business as a whole, from the three co-founders who still find the time to show punters around the distillery to the innovative approach that has delivered the likes of the Christmas Cake and Bloody Shiraz gins. From their sustainable approach to making gin, to the annual Christmas Revue which aims to raise money and awareness for causes close to their hearts. We can’t possibly not mention the cocktails: the Four Pillars team, led by James Irvine their Creative Director of Gin Drinks, is owning this space. Irvine travels the world raising the Four Pillars profile, creating new cocktails and adding funky twists to local concoctions, all of which they happily share so you can lovingly recreate them at home. My recommendation would be The Bloody Sour, a classic shaken cocktail using the Four Pillars Bloody Shiraz gin that will blow your mind. Following a year of trials, a new gin has been added to the Four Pillars core range. The Olive Leaf Gin uses 12 botanicals and is the first new core gin in five years. The fresh olive component is stunning. Deliciously savoury, textural and bright, it's ideal for any martini – Gibson, dirty or dry with a twist. For a longer drink, try it in a Spanish-inspired gintonic with rosemary and lemon. | AS

The upward arc of Broken Hear t
Nestled at the base of the Southern Alps you will find the Broken Heart Distillery, an idea that started with the friendship of two Germans, Joerg and Bernd, and grew from their shared passion for distilling and creating spirits of complexity and flavour. Despite the successful realisation of their combined dream, Bernd would pass away after a short illness. It was in tribute to his friend that Joerg named their creation Broken Heart Gin, for a broken heart hurts but is also a space for new beginnings. Fast forward eight years and Broken Heart Distillery has gone from strength to strength, collecting six medals from six entries at the recent New Zealand Spirit Awards. A double gold for their original gin, a gold and four silvers a fitting recognition for the passion and values this distillery was built on. A perfect bottle to take the time to call a friend and enjoy the gin. | AS

Wee Beastie
The fearlessness of youth
Islay-based distillery Ardbeg are no strangers to experimentation and new bottlings. Every year on Ardbeg Day they dispense a limited edition release to their fervent fans around the world. Additions to their core range, however, are fewer and much more measured. The Wee Beastie 5 Year Old is the newest and feistiest of these permanent extensions. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso casks, this Ardbeg sports a younger age statement than many other whisky distilleries would be brave enough to put so prominently on the bottle. But, as Ardbeggians everywhere will no doubt suspect, this is a rare beast in that the relative youth here is heavily tied into what makes each dram of the Wee Beastie so special. Longtime fans will remember the limited edition releases from the early 2000s – the Very Young, Still Young and Almost There – that tracked Ardbeg bottlings at increasingly older ages and culminating in the 10 Year Old. In addition to giving whisky lovers a look at the evolution of a style, these releases also highlighted that much of what Ardbeg is famous for – smoke and peat in delicious harmony – are heavily on display in their younger whiskies in particular. The Wee Beastie, bottled at 47.4% ABV, lives up to this lineage and then some. Legendary director of whisky creation at Ardbeg, Dr Bill Lumsden, characterises the whisky as 'tongue-tingling,' and notes his certainty that it will prove popular for either 'enjoying neat or as the mouth-watering main ingredient in a powerfully smoky cocktail.' | DL

This is a delicious addition to the Ardbeg range, but don’t just take it from us. Even brand new, it is picking up prestigious accolades, winning Best Single Malt Scotch under 10 years old at the International Whisky Competition.

Hallertau
Pur veyors of biergar ten bliss
Looking for hopping good beer? One needn’t go further than supporting Auckland local favourite Hallertau Brewing (they of the graphic labels and big numerals), which you can now enjoy on tap, not just in Riverhead, but also from one of Hallertau’s brand new Biergartens. Take your pick of being smack, bang in the beating heart of Auckland on Karangahape Road or in bucolic bliss out in Cleveland. Whatever tap haus you find yourself at, you will undoubtedly be enjoying a thirst-quenching, unapologetically bold beer, delicious food and music groovier than your gran after a couple of sherries. | K A
McLeod’s
Within the historic town of Waipu lies a boutique, independent brewery. Brothers Geoff and Clayton Gwynne started McLeod’s back in 2014, when they decided to brew their own beer for the Pizza Barn, which they had owned since 2003. Their aim was to produce world-class beers that offered a sense of place from their little slice of heaven in Northland, and to say they have succeeded seems like an understatement. Winning several major awards over the past few years, notably Champion International Small Brewery at the 2019 Australian International Brewing Awards, the world’s biggest beer competition, their future is looking bright. Head brewer Jason Bathgate has been with McLeod's since 2016, building a solid reputation for his unique talents across a range of beer styles. The beautiful artwork on McLeod's seasonal brews is painted by grammy-nominated visual artist Sarah Larnach. Her skill with watercolours bring the McLeod’s beers to life on the bottle. The Cove Unfiltered Pale Ale has just been re-released, this time in cans, and features her work. | MR

8 Wired
Warkwor th's barrel aging wizards Head brewer and founder Søren Eriksen’s interest in making beer was first sparked by the gift of a Coopers homebrewing kit from his wife, Monique, on Christmas day, 2005. With the dream of making their own beer, they packed up their lives and moved to New Zealand. Søren’s first commercial experience was at Renaissance Brewery in Blenheim, where he was at the forefront of NZ craft beer. It was here that Søren honed his skills and nurtured his passion. 8 Wired was born out of this, producing incredible beers while lacking their own production site. However, in 2014, the Eriksens finally found a permanent home in Warkworth, north of Auckland. In Matakana, they recently opened the Barrelworks, the heart of their barrel programme, complete with taproom and food trucks. From their home base, they are always looking to innovate and explore the wild and wonderful world of craft beer. | TM
