✨Maruia Falls✨

The Murchison earthquake of 1929 created the Maruia Falls by triggering a landslide which diverted the course of the Maruia River westwards, forcing it to cut a new channel over an old river bank. The river eroded gravels below the bank, forming the Maruia Falls.

Top up with chilled Reine Cuvée and serve with biscuit rose de Reims.

A magical day with people we adore. Thank you for choosing us 🫶

(We'll tidy up our syrup and biscuit trial notes and release those recipes this week)
