Description

Our Mountains to Sea gin is an aromatic experience focused on native botanicals carefully selected to reflect the journey of the Whanganui River - Te Awa Tupua from its source in the mountains of the central plateau to the sea at Whanganui. 

Horopito represents the mountains, manuka leaf the river and rimurapa (bull kelp) the sea. These are single-shot distilled together with orchard pears, grapefruit peel, lime peel and a selection of traditional gin botanicals.

This gin tells a complex, botanical story of our unique place in the world and the environment around us. Enjoy it neat for the full sensory experience or with your mixer of choice.



About
In May 2021, Nikki and Adrian relocated from windy Wellington to Ūpokongaro on the banks of the Whanganui River. The house, as it happened, came with two sizeable pear orchards, and that's when people started asking them, "what are you going to do with all the pears?" Turns out, the answer was, "gin".

Papaiti's comes from the fertile land of the Papaiti flats, the orchards that frame Nikki and Adrian's home, and the native bush on the banks of the Whanganui river. They're passionate about sourcing as many botanicals as they can locally and try to stay close to home: they use pears, kawakawa, lemon, lime, figs, quince, and rosemary all of which are growing right behind their house. They feel it really connects a creative product to its environment.
