HASTINGS DISTILLERS RUBIS SWEET VERMOUTH

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.

Highly versatile, Rubis can be enjoyed in your favourite cocktails. Mix with L'Opera Bitter Orange Aperitif (also made by Hastings Distillers) and Rubis Sweet Vermouth for an epic Negroni!

Maker notes
"Warm and richly spiced, Rubis infuses premium organic Hawke’s Bay wine with handpicked roots, fruits, flowers and herbs. Deep, complex and perfectly bittersweet, displaying flavours of ripe red berries, bitter orange, clove, anise and savoury herb notes.

Serve on ice with a wedge of orange or simply with a dash of soda. Highly versatile, Rubis can be enjoyed in your favourite cocktails. Certified organic."
