Description
Balancing a unique expression of Roots Marlborough Dry Gin with an organic Marlborough pinot noir wine, harvested from biodynamically certified grapes. As a base, they've distilled a classic juniper forward London Dry gin supported by signature Roots botanicals of juniper, coriander, grapefruit, hops and native kawakawa alongside the aromatic angelica and orris roots. When sipping, Roots ‘Rosso’ is a rich and unctuous off-dry spirit, tasting of ripe strawberries and warming spice reminiscent of a sweet vermouth with a bold pinot noir nose of dark fruit and rich iris flowers.

Distilling
Single shot distilled their boutique 200L copper pot still after a 24 hour maceration in sustainable neutral base spirit. Bottled at a bold 45% alcohol by volume.

Produced entirely onsite at their very own bespoke container distillery, they dehydrate, macerate, distill and bottle entirely in house, giving complete quality control on everything they produce. Each run is batch distilled in a small 200L copper pot still named ‘Fanni Chanel’. A truly boutique operation where every process and principle is controlled by batch and by their own hands. All of their ingredients are direct sourced through either wild foraged, organically farmed or from Kiwi family owned businesses.
