Forest Sour

Grounded and quietly expressive. The Forest Sour draws out the depth of Terane Bush Gin, layering native botanicals with bright citrus and the warm, earthy sweetness of manuka honey. Balanced rather than bold, this is a sour that feels distinctly New Zealand without needing to say so.

Recipe

Resinous bush notes and citrus peel on the nose, followed by fresh lemon acidity and rounded honeyed sweetness. The texture is soft and structured, finishing dry with lingering native botanicals.
