Strange Nature Gin is an entirely unique New Zealand craft gin, distilled from alcohol extracted during the dealcoholisation of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. This wine-based spirit forms the foundation for a single botanical expression—juniper—which allows the vivid aromatics of the base to shine. With no added sugar, colour or flavouring, it’s an honest, clean and strikingly original gin that highlights NZ terroir in a bold new way.
Bouquet Aromatic and distinctive, with unmistakable notes of gooseberry, green capsicum, kaffir lime and tropical fruit. A herbaceous freshness runs through the nose, lifted by floral and citrus hints.
Palate Bright and zesty, with the tangy, tropical character of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at its core. Flavours of lime, lemongrass, green herbs and crisp juniper unfold with vibrancy. The texture is smooth and oily, finishing clean and dry with a light peppery snap.
Food Pairing Best in a G&T with a wedge of lime or fresh basil. Also delicious in a Gin Mojito or Sauvignon Blanc–inspired gin cocktail. Pair with goat cheese, oysters, Thai salads or anything citrus-forward.
Cellaring Enjoy fresh to preserve its vivid aromatic profile. Store sealed and upright in a cool, dark place.
Interesting Fact Strange Nature Gin is a by-product of sustainable winemaking—born from the alcohol removed during the production of 0% Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a true example of Kiwi ingenuity, turning waste into world-class gin.
