Double Gold
Our White Gin (London Dry) won Double Gold for Gin at the NZ Spirits Awards 2021. Putting us in the top 3 of 145 gins entered from an international field.
Silver for Pink
Our Pink managed to do very well too. It picked up a Silver Award - in the top 30 of entries.
A strong citrus note blended with raspberries, strawberries and blueberries.
Geothermal Gin
Rotorua has welcomed people to it's warm heart and geothermal wonders for centuries. Hosting is our history. Geysers, mud pools and cascades featured in New Zealand's first tourism boom in the Victorian Age and many travelers came from far and wide.
We are on a journey to create a gin with geothermal provenance - utilising heat from the ground passed through a still.
With volcanic filtered pure waters, flavours of pine from the Whakarewarewa forest, deep lakes and a lemon from Rangi's Lot. Our White Gin is the classic London Dry - juniper forward with traditional notes. Paired best with a sparkling tonic.
Our Pink Gin combines Raspberries and Blueberries for a more flavourful mixer - matches equally well with a tonic or dry lemonade .
The story
We want to be the first gin made from the renewable energy under the earth - geothermal. Through some engineering that would remind you of steam punk, we are developing a still that produces quality spirits with less carbon.
The team
L-R: Brad Christie, Kurt Matthews and Mitch Collins came together in late 2018 with a full head of steam to create a geothermal distillery. Gin seemed the natural first order and Kurt has been tinkering away at his still since.
The terraces
Our name "Pink and White" refers to the respective Pink Gin and White Gin. This is also a homage to the famous terraces. The original names for these terraces are Te Otukapuarangi and Te Tarata respectively. Their story is better told by mana whenua at Waimangu Volcanic Valley.
