The story of Reefton Rose Ripple

Rosé Ripple comes from Reefton Distilling Co., part of its Flavour Gallery Gin Series, the more playful side of a West Coast distillery. Founder Patsy Bass wrote the company's 100 Year Vision in 2016, and in September 2022 the distillery moved into a new two-hectare site on the edge of Reefton, reusing existing buildings for its stillroom, warehouse and bottling hall.

The gin starts from a traditional gin base, which is then blended with Hawke's Bay rosé and flavoured with boysenberry and vanilla. It is bottled at 40 percent. Expect subtle rose and berry notes sitting over the botanical base, a modern style with a soft, fruity edge. It won a platinum medal at the 2023 SIP Awards, and the profits from the gin go towards regenerative native tree planting in New Zealand.

Reefton makes this series for mixing, with tonic, soda or sparkling wine. A gin and tonic over plenty of ice is the simple answer, and a spritz, topped with sparkling wine and a splash of soda, suits the rosé and berry notes well.
