Strange Nature Gin - Turning Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc Into Gin This journey takes us into the wonderfully unconventional world of Strange Nature, where Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is transformed into a uniquely New Zealand gin. Suzie chats with Rhys about the surprising origins of the brand, the process behind creating gin from recovered wine spirit, balancing bold Sauvignon Blanc character with juniper, and building one of New Zealand’s most distinctive spirit brands.
