Papaiti Gin's Whanganui dry is a truly excellent classic gin which has just been recognised on a national level thanks to its Double Gold award at the NZ Spirits Awards 2024.
With a juniper forward, citrus, and herbaceous flavour profile, it's a great gin for a G&T. Especially using neutral or citrus-forward tonic waters.
It also pairs well with soda water and makes an especially delicious Negroni.

What are you going to do with all the pears?
Why, make gin of course!
This question, and subsequent answer, arose after Adrian Rumney and Nikki Oesterle moved up to Papaiti from Wellington in 2021 into a house that came with two sizeable pear orchards.
Their answer is all about the core principle of connecting a creative product to the environment it was created in. Passionately sourcing as many botanicals as they can locally.
Pears, kawakawa, lemons, limes, figs, quince, basil, rosehip, stinging nettle, and rosemary are all grown behind their home on the bank of the Whanganui River.
