NEW
PRODUCT
Celebration Bowle
|
|
|
The Prenzel Distilling Co.
is celebrating its 20th birthday.
After starting life as the
'Marlborough Fruit Brandy Company', the
distillery now has a wealth of expertise,
(and products to prove it) with which
to create our new and truly memorable
product to celebrate its 20 years.
As The Prenzel Distilling
Company turns 20, the traditional methods
of producing quality flavours continue
to be entwined with a taste of Kiwi excellence.
Bowle
(pronounced ‘Bowl-a’ and
so called as it is typically served in
a large glass bowl) is the latest
delight to roll out of the doors of the
Marlborough distillery. Traditional recipes
from Germany and the Alsace region of
France use fruit sprinkled with sugar,
then soaked in brandy as a base.
Prenzel Distilling have
developed a spirit especially for this
purpose. White wine is later added and
chilled, then before serving, champagne
is also stirred into the mix. (For a lighter
version, lemonade/soda can be used.)
Prenzel founders Hugh and
Chris Steadman celebrating two decades
of distilling think it’s apt that
Bowle
should mark this auspicious occasion.
Call in soon to one of our
tasting rooms at Botany Town Centre or
Whitford Village to share a toast to our
fabulous company.

 Sweet
Success for Prenzel Lemon Zest at World Competition....
Only four months after its release, our new Limoncello
'Lemon Zest' has been awarded Gold at the 2009-2010
World Beverage Competition in Florida. The finest beverage
products from iced teas to vodkas were tested by an
international panel of industry professionals. Packaging
and brand names are kept secret from judges and double
blind tastings prove to be an effective way to provide
honest opinions.
New to our range in October 2009, Lemon Zest is light
smooth and refreshing. Prenzel Distiller, 22 year old
Hayden Johnstone says he’s ”pleased with the
result.” He developed a traditional Italian recipe
but adjusted it specifically to the New Zealand palate.
To win Gold in the USA would indicate “that its
appeal is not just limited to Kiwi tastes.”
Company owner Hugh Steadman says he’s absolutely
delighted with the outcome, “Limoncello is a relatively
new category in New Zealand and is fast becoming the
flavour of the year. New Zealand lemons are particularly
flavoursome when compared to those grown in other countries
– so I am not surprised we can win medals for this
product overseas.”
We invite you to come and tasting this refreshing liqueur
in store – See you soon!
Local Feature - Black Rabbit Tours
Black Rabbit Gourmet Food Tours is a new boutique company
recently launched by local lady Trisha Murdie.
Trisha takes small groups of six or less people around
the Clevedon area, south of Auckland, to learn about
and taste local food and wine.
Visits include a wild bee apiary, olive oil estate and
meet the water buffalo from which New Zealand's only
mozzarella cheese is made!
Then there's the local oysters, handmade chocolates
and of course a choice of stunning wines at the local
vineyards! Trisha's tours are unique because you actually
get to talk to the growers and producers of the foods
and of course all Trisha's tours visit the Prenzel shop
in Whitford Village.
Choose from three tours; a four hour or six hour tour
and the very popular Sunday Farmers Market tour.
Gift vouchers are available too, the perfect gift for
that foodie friend or relative who is hard to buy for!
More information is available at www.blackrabbittours.com
or by phoning Trisha on (09) 530 8686.
