Mead is an alcoholic drink made by fermenting honey with water and yeast. Often referred to as honey wine, it can vary in flavour from light and floral to rich and full-bodied depending on the honey used and the fermentation process.
Unlike grape wine, mead highlights the natural characteristics of honey, making each batch unique. Some varieties include added fruits, spices or botanicals to create different flavour profiles.
Our range includes a variety of mead styles to suit different tastes:
Traditional Mead – clean, honey-forward flavour
Fruit Mead (Melomel) – infused with fruits like apple or cherry
Spiced Mead (Metheglin) – crafted with spices for added depth
Sparkling Mead – light and refreshing with natural carbonation
Each style offers a different drinking experience, making mead suitable for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.
