Our grapes are grown within some of

the most prized winegrowing pockets of

Hawke’s Bay, celebrating the abundance

of the region. We prefer to let nature

determine the lavours of our wines,

which is another way of saying that

the only chemistry going on around

here is out there, on the vines.

You might say we’re a little rebellious

in our disregard for the accepted ways

of doing things. But when it comes

to making wine, we believe the less

interference from the meddlesome

hand of man, the better.

It seems to be working.

At Moana Park, we challenge accepted winemaking habits to produce wines that

are naturally grown, low in allergens and additives, and pure joy to drink.

Either way, nobody does it batter.

157 Mt Eden Road (09 ) 62 333 99www.theancientmariner.co.nz

Battered? Yeh. Beaten? Nah.At the helm are dedicated foodies Trevor Norling and Tina Nair who have spent the last decade perfecting award-winning fish and chips. They opened their Mt Eden eatery in January, aiming to create the “ultimate, salt-of-theearth chippie” where traditional cooking practices are moored alongside modern health consciousness.

Everything is cooked fresh to order without additives and is home-made or locally sourced: market fresh fish is delivered daily; Pukekohe spuds and Northland kumaras are chipped in the kitchen every morning; the burger options feature home-made Angus beef patties, Sirloin steak, battered fish and herbed chicken breasts, served in freshly baked buns with slaw, dressing and home-made pickled beetroot.

Choosing cholesterol-free, anti-oxident-rich Alfa One Rice Bran oil gives a healthier edge to the food as do the grilled seafood skewers, fresh salad and a Gluten-Free food range for Coeliacs who come from afar to enjoy the famously crispy batter. The menu has old and new Kiwi faves: battered, crumbed or grilled fish, saveloy hotdogs, home-made paua fritters, mushy peas and fish cakes, all served with salt, crushed pepper and the owners’ cheeky brand of in-house humour.

Stunning nautical interiors, sounds of the sea and good old-fashioned Kiwi tucker make it an experience like no other. You’ll find The Ancient Mariner docked at 157 Mt Eden Road. There are plenty of great spots to eat out, or on board.

Whilst this question seems fairly simple, it erupted with a raucous and fun discussion

with the two winemakers behind Harwood & Hall Wine. Corey Hall and Digger

Hennessy have known each other for over 30 years but it wasn’t until 2008 that the

two of them started working together and Harwood Hall was born over a glass of

wine (or two).

So what does make a great summer wine? The families behind Harwood Hall believes that the quality of the fruit is absolutely

imperative, the wine making is equally important and the bottling and storing of

the wine is something that needs care and attention, but there’s a number of other

variables that can have an impact on how much you enjoy your glass of wine.

So what are some of the things to consider? According to Harwood Hall, variables such as wine selection, weather, time of the

day/week, the company you keep, stress levels and your general mood can all have

an impact on how you perceive the glass of wine you are drinking. For many, a glass

of wine tastes better on a Friday – the end of the working week, or a Saturday night

when you are enjoying a meal with family and friends. For others, a glass of wine is

more enjoyable after a day of sporting activity or after a pay rise or when you find

out you just sold your house!

So we asked these two winemakers what they will be doing over the summer months

to enjoy their summer wine

- wine selection: choosing lighter styles are a great option for summer lunch and

dinners such as Rose, Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris

- Spending time with family and friends and enjoying the good weather (fingers

crossed)

- Playing golf, surfing

- Hanging out with the kids

- Mowing the vineyard rows!

What makes a great summer wine?

“Choose a nice glass and make sure your wine is not exposed to the heat or light

for too long!”

welcome!I believe in nourishing your body with

unprocessed, unrefined whole foods

and this is rapidly becoming a trend

in New Zealand. It’s impressive to see

restaurant owners and chefs grasping

this trend with a passion and producing

some sensational fresh, nutritious

and scrumptious super foods, leaving

the sugar and refined foods for dust!

Eating clean is a good way to refresh

your eating habits and by embracing

foods like vegetables, fruits and whole grains alongside healthy

proteins and fats you will very quickly see the results in your energy,

happiness and effortless weight loss. But don’t fear I do like a good

glass of bubbles or pinot noir with my healthy salad! I have also

learnt this year that I enjoy eating a lot more without my phone

beside me, so now I take time to smell, see and mindfully eat my

food without a wee electronic device tempting me. Trust me it feels

much better!

This issue you will find great restaurants throughout New Zealand

showcasing their menus for the upcoming season and some of them

have outdone themselves with healthy super foods!

So stop calorie counting and enjoy ordering some nutritious

polenta chips or chia pudding from the new creative menus our

talented New Zealand chefs have presented us with.

Enjoy mindfully eating

“Wine is much more than a drink. Wine tells stories

that connect to our emotions and which, with every

sip, takes you into the world of the vintners, the

terroir and the grapes which created the wine.”

— Eberhard Eisch

Eisch stemware, opening up new wines to everyone.

PepitosAguably the most authentic Spanish Tapas bar in New Zealand, Pepitos sources the largest variety of Spanish wine and beer from all

over Spain. Formally, ‘Tapas’ is the art of eating standing up, but Pepitos have created an environment with their unique barrel tables

and high chairs where you can sit or stand and soak up the Spanish dining experience. This of course while listening to Spanish music

playing in the background. The bar is tastefully decorated, giving it a truly Spanish look and feel. With Jose Luis Fowler guiding you

through the extensive wine and beer list, Chef Serafin Bueno provides an excellent dining experience. Spanish Torrefacto coffee is

roasted on site and a large selection of delicatessen items for sale. Pepitos is truly a unique experience.

HistoryLong recognised by locals that there were no authentic Thai Cuisine Restaurants in the Kerikeri of Waipapa areas, Chang Siam aims to be the best authentic Thai Restaurant not only in these areas, but a destination spot for all New Zealanders and travelers. It was in mid 2012 that Chang Siam was opened by local father and son combo Charles and Christopher Timm.

Cultural NightsIf you’re looking for a night of musical entertainment, then Chang Siam is the place for you. Friday nights have been established as ‘music nights’ where regular musician Diane Brown plays the harp, alongside a variety of other instruments. She also sings and has a repertoire for many countries and continents, leaving you entertained all night long.

BeveragesBoasting an extensive drinks list, Chang Siam has a selection of sparkling wines and champagnes as well as a great wine list. If dessert wines are you’re kryptonite, try the Trinity Hill Viognier or the Warres King Tawny Port.

AmbienceMore than just an eatery, Chang Siam is an authentic Thai dining experience. The outside area is currently being developed into a large garden and features scented plants, some Thai specimens and a stunning Monarch garden.

L e f t BankNamed after the hallowed haunt of artists, writers and philosophers on the Seine, Left Bank is a smart sidewalk concept café which

is part open French-kitchen, part Parisian tea room. Melding an eclectic collection of 1930’s – 1950’s art, a vintage butcher’s table,

and window shutters and mosaic floor tiles shipped from France, the avant-garde lifestyle of Paris is reverently displayed. Wrought

iron gating adds to Left Bank Café’s egalitarian elegance, while a simple rope-tie in Kowhai yellow is ceremoniously wrapped across

the café’s padlock each evening, symbolising the end of another day with a dose of old world tradition and nostalgia. Left Bank Café

serves breakfast and lunch daily using only the freshest ingredients and local seasonal produce.
