The Villager Selection

THE VILLAGER SELECTION

Villager gins celebrate our orcharding heritage, incredibly fertile soils perfect for backyard gardening and the proliferation of flowers and bees that complete this circle of abundance.

BEEKEEPER PREMIUM GIN

A salute to the worker bees, both pollinators and humans! We’ve brought together our now world-famous Greytown Mānuka honey, rose petals from our gardens and locally grown Wairarapa lavender to create a gin that’s not too floral nor sweet, but perfectly balanced for sipping over crushed ice or as a base for your favourite cocktail.

It’s a mysterious aqua blue in colour thanks to the addition of a butterfly pea flower. Want to create some visual magic for your guests? Top it up with a light Indian Tonic or lemonade and watch the colour transform before your eyes. Add a little floral garnish and you’ll create a celebratory G&T to get your summer party started.

GARDENER PREMIUM GIN

Planting a seed in warm, living, organically rich soil in spring, and several months later, harvesting the freshest food we can eat, is an act that connects us to the planet and each other. It provides us with essential nutrition, understanding of our world’s natural systems and a deep sense of appreciation that we are part of it. This is our home - it requires our care and rewards us for it.

Gardener Gin tastes like picking your own fresh produce from an abundant Greytown backyard garden. You’ll detect notes of freshly harvested vegetables and we’ve been inspired by Simon and Garfunkel to blend parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme together to create a delightfully rewarding garden in a glass. Sip over ice and enjoy the bounty of our backyard.

ORCHARDIST Connoisseur Selection GIN

The Pick-Your-Own apple tradition many mature New Zealanders enjoyed in their youth is back at Molewood Orchard in Greytown. During the autumn harvest season, families from all over the region flock to the orchard to fill their bags and boxes with fresh pears and apples from this abundant orchard. We’ve picked Greytown Braeburn apples and added warming cinnamon and some zesty limes to bring the orchard to your glass in this exquisite gin.

Orchardist Gin creates a stroll through the orchard experience, and makes a delightfully sophisticated martini you should either enjoy in your own home cocktail bar or, even better, in a fruit packing shed. It has earned our coveted Martini Connoisseur Selection status.
