Brian and Sali’s attention to detail extends to the handpicked wine selection, featuring local vintages, often with interesting stories to tell, like Stoneleigh’s Wild Valley made with grapes that have been wild fermented by naturally-occurring micro-flora. As you would expect, New Zealand vineyards take pride of place on the wine list but there’s still room for a couple of full-bodied Aussie reds. Beer comes from Waipu’s McLeods Brewery, with an exclusive ‘Tuitui IPA’ available on tap.
