"The London N°1 is one of a handful of super premium gins actually distilled in London, created to echo the complex and full-bodied gins of yesteryear, albeit with a modern twist. Due to its traditions, the pure water and a good trading environment, London has always been
one of the hubs of good quality gins."
Antipodes
The meaning of the word antipodes is at the very heart of our water – it is quite literally poles apart. To us it represents both a place of origin and an attitude to everything we stand for.
antipodes /an-tip-o-deez/ n.pl. 1. Australia and New Zealand form the perspective of Europe; 2. a pair of points, places or things that are diametrically opposite each other; antipodal a.: situated on the opposite of the globe; antipodean a.; of , relating to or from the Antipodes.
Our founder Simon Wooley, a restaurateur could not understand why fine restaurants in New Zealand were importing mineral water from Europe when in New Zealand we could source pristine mineral water that could compete with any fine water in the world. Fine water is a central element in the enjoyment of wine and cuisine - its sole purpose is to hydrate and refresh, whilst cleansing the palate. For this reason we sought out the source of Antipodes deliberately to offer a mineral water that is ideally suited to enhance the fine dining experience.
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe has been in the Brunier family for six generations, beginning in 1891. The winery is in Bédarrides, at the south eastern area of the appellation. The Domaine is named after inventor Claude Chappe’s visual telegraph tower that was built on the property. Daniel Brunier describes the style of Vieux Télégraphe as Burgundian because he is handles Grenache like a Pinot Noir, which results in delicate, almost perfumed Châteauneuf du Pape without jamminess or over ripeness.
David Moret
David Moret studied viticulture and oenology and then sold winery equipment to local growers and winemakers before starting his own label as a micro-négociant in 2000, out of his small cellar in the centre of Beaune. David only makes white Burgundies which are intense, bold and polished, like the man himself, the wines are jolly, enthusiastic is best served with good food and company. His wines are listed at many top tables in France and England and he is one of those small producers that those in the know, would like to keep a secret.
