    New Release!

    Gisborne Summer in a bottle.

    Officially Spring is just days away but here in Gisborne Winter has quickly made way for beautiful blue skies, blossoming trees and new born lambs, before we know it I am sure we will be in the midst of Summer.
    Muscat vines grow all over the Mediterranean, but Muscat is rarely seen in New Zealand as a varietal wine, it ripens late in the season without the lushness and intensity achieved in warmer regions.
    Of the country’s 37 hectares of bearing Muscat vines in 2017, 30 hectares are clustered in Gisborne.
    Most of the grapes are used to add an inviting, musky perfume to low-priced sparklings, modelled on the Asti Spumantes of northern Italy. Michael Cooper

    Viognier perfumed with apricots... in Canvas this week
    Kind words in the Canvas this week - " The Family Company are now one of Gisborne's most exciting new producers, crafting viognier perfumed with apricots, cardamon, jasmine and orange oil with ripe peach and flinty, smoky notes on the finish"
    We are such fans of this drop, so it is great to see others enjoying it also. xx

    Wine Friend - always a friend

    Wine Friend has been a great supporter of both the First Press grape juices and The Family Wines for awhile now

    If you haven't come across them online they are a great starting point to purchase wines if you are not sure what you really want/like.

    Their motto's is "So many wines to choose between. Who has time to taste them all? We do"

    They make you do a little test so they know what wines you like. You will be sent a case of wine each month or so like magic (being your credit card).

    Such a great concept and with the amazing taste buds of Yvonne Lorkin behind it you know it will be tasty and interesting.

    And you know what is great about it, on a rainy Friday night when your friends are too busy you will always have a little bottle waiting quietly for when you need a friend.

    THE PRODUCER SERIES

     

    THE PRODUCERS SERIES
    26 APRIL 2017

    As a manufacturing and marketing business we at Gisborne Gourmet do not often get to see our products as they are intended to be used, we do not sit down every night to a meal prepared by chefs nor do we visit restaurants as regularly as we would like. So we are super excited to be the first of a series of Gisborne producers to be highlighted in The Producer Series hosted and created by The Works.

    The chef will create a tasting menu featuring Waimata Cheese and our free-range game birds from Manurau which will in turn be matched with The Family Wine and our First Press Juice's and of course, as we live in Gisborne there will be a large seafood component...delicious!

    Tickets are very limited (only 30 seats) so get in quick!
    If you would like to try our products but you cannot get there you can order on line here...

    We will of course be there so follow along on Instagram and we will keep your updated with our favourite courses and don't forget we love to see what you do with our products so please tag us @gisbornegourmet

    Please contact The Works to make a booking on 06-868 9699 or visit 41 The Esplanade
