“It had to reflect women and men who came to New Zealand, broke in the land and settled in what was a harsh, challenging environment," said Stuart Greenhill, head distiller.

The Pioneer is‘The Vintner’ triple-distilled with added mānuka to create a wonderfully complex gin. Initial bold juniper hit, followed by sweet tannins and oak infused botanica, hints of spicy cinnamon, kawakawa and citrus, then a long complex finish.

About
Fenton Street Gin is made make our 310m above sea-level (because their aspirations are that high!). It is genuinely hand-crafted in 48L batches: no rigid timings, no automatic cuts, their stills don’t have nicknames, the recycled bottles aren’t uniform, their labels aren’t machine applied, they're not after accolades or awards, the journey and the people that come for the ride are the prize.

This is their craft, it is not unique, they just have a flair and passion for telling great stories with their Gin. It is filled with complexity, love, art and beauty.
