Central Otago Gin

Central Otago Gin – A Tribute in Taste and Spirit

Pinot Noir grapes from Bannockburn are macerated in pure spirit and aged for a full year, unlocking rich, wine-kissed layers. This process, combined with the flinty minerality of Otago’s iconic schist rock, creates a gin that captures the complex, soulful essence of this alpine land. Bold yet refined, with a deep red hue and wild botanicals that echo the rugged beauty of Central Otago.

For Andy – Crafted with Love and Legacy

This gin is dedicated to Mark’s brother Andy, who passed away in 2019. Andy achieved something remarkable: he won the International Wine and Spirit Competition for Best Pinot Noir in the world – two years in a row. The Pinot grapes used in this gin come from the very same vineyard where he made his award-winning wine. Central Otago Gin is more than a spirit – it’s a heartfelt tribute to excellence, family, and enduring memory.

A Deep Red Expression of the Land

With a limited production of only 300 bottles, this small-batch gin balances rich fruit and earth with high-country elegance. It’s a gin that speaks softly but leaves a lasting impression.
