Speight's is the beer of choice after a hard day's work. Probably the least sweet of all New Zealand beers, this characteristic allows the full flavour of the malt and hops to shine through. Speight's Gold Medal Ale is a great accompaniment to any meat dish and is superb with Southern game dishes such as venison, duck and rabbit.

A lovely rich expression of the variety, the wonderfully lifted bouquet shows nectarine, mango, feijoa and lemon zest characters, followed by a succulent palate that is bright and flavoursome. The wine offers generous fruit intensity and weight, brilliantly supported by juicy acidity, finishing long and delectable.
