Stew and Chris Reid take their Native Gin, which uses three native botanicals (kawakawa, manuka and horopito), and age it for three months in ex-Martinborough pinot noir French oak barrels.

When brothers Stew and Chris Reid started Reid & Reid distillery, they decided to put their uniquely refined knowledge of engineering and beverage production to better use, so they got work challenging the perception of what a classic gin should be, and introducing gin-lovers like you to the quirky, unexpected flavours that only native New Zealand flora can offer in a spirit.

After 2 years of determined foraging through the native New Zealand bush for the most curious combinations of flavours, the pair set up shop in the Martinborough wine district with their custom-made 200 litre copper pot (and some quintessentially-Kiwi determination) to create unparalleled blends of native botanicals, rich red wines and uniquely Martinborough flavoured gin in every bottle.
