Hot Yuzu Sake🍶
Steam curling off the cup before you even taste it. Warmed sake laced with honey and fresh ginger, bright yuzu cutting through the richness — the kind of drink that makes a cold Arrowtown night feel like exactly where you’re supposed to be.

**High Garden Vineyard Pinot Noir 2024**
Gibbston, Central Otago

Robin Tedder MW — one of only 425 Masters of W**e in the world — has been a familiar face at CAVE for a long time. We’re genuinely glad he brought his Pinot Noir to our table.

Grown at one of Gibbston’s highest vineyards. Available by the bottle.
