Speight's is the beer of choice after a hard day's work. Probably the least sweet of all New Zealand beers, this characteristic allows the full flavour of the malt and hops to shine through. Speight's Gold Medal Ale is a great accompaniment to any meat dish and is superb with Southern game dishes such as venison, duck and rabbit.

Wild raspberry and red cherry characters dominate while soft sweet brown spice characters add in detail. Savoury red cherry notes lead the wine onto the palate; the wine flows with good texture. Fine elegant tannins rise out of the mid-palate and with wild raspberry notes drive the finish alongside fine acidity.

The wine displays guava, passionfruit and gooseberry flavours underscored by nettle and chamomile floral notes; These same fruit characters introduce the wine onto the palate, moving into a textured mid-palate and supple acidity the wine finishes with a touch of nettle.

A bright watermelon colour with a bouquet of punchy strawberry and raspberry notes, complemented by red apple and jasmine blossom along with a touch of yellow fleshed peach. On the palate, vibrant red fruits of the forest along with a touch of sweetness introduce the wine, flowing into a juicy mid-palate with white peach notes and the wine is driven by red cherry and berry in harmony with natural acidity.
