Creating a legacy of craftsmanship and passion.
You’re one of the first in the world to discover The Southerly.
Like the famous southerly wind that reshapes our land and spreads rich nutrients across the country, we too sculpt nature, merging scarce ingredients from both the North and South islands to create the rarest luxury products in New Zealand.
Our journey started three years ago on the farm with the ambition to create a luxury product, born from the pristine, nutrient-rich land.
We assembled a team of the best industry talent and developed a unique Whisky infused Mānuka Honey.
Over the best part of three years, it took flight. And during what was a challenging and sometimes daunting process something special happened.
Because my 8-year old son Lucan, now 11, watched the business come to life around the kitchen table.
He’d naturally become part of the journey too.
Which reaffirmed what the business had always been about. An inspiration for my two boys.
Showing them that while anyone can have an idea, it’s the people who turn ideas into reality that make an impact in life.
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created and excited to take our luxury product to the world.
Welcome to the start of our story.
