Kaikōura Mānuka 80+ MGO

Location: Kaikōura, Te Tai o Marokura. Coastal scrub and the seaward faces of the Kaikōura Ranges, where the mountains meet the Pacific.

Flavour Profile: Earthy and robust with mineral depth, a herbal bite, and a distinct saline edge on the finish.

The Seaward Kaikōura Range rises above 2,600 metres within sight of the beach, and mānuka covers the steep scrub faces between the two. Salt air off the Pacific, hard country, and a short flowering window. Guaranteed 80+ MGO, with the sea in it.

Perfect Pairings

Daily Wellness: A spoonful straight, or in warm water with lemon and ginger.

Savoury Contrast: With blue cheese, aged cheddar, or on rye with ricotta and black pepper.

Local Flavours: Into a glaze for grilled crayfish or hot-smoked salmon, with lemon and chilli. The saline note belongs with seafood.

Marinades: Whisk with soy, garlic and lemon for lamb, or with mustard and cider vinegar for pork.
