Gold Medal – New Zealand Spirits Awards 2023
Produced in Hastings, Hawke's Bay, by Kate Galloway (ex winemaker at Alpha Domus) and David Ramonteu whose family are winemakers in the Pyrenees. Hastings Distillers is New Zealand’s first producer of certified organic artisan spirits and liqueurs. Their decades long backgrounds in winemaking provide an ideal starting point to further explore our long time love of all things botanical and spiritous.
