Tasting note

This is a fun and intriguing modern take on an ancient drink. Crafted by fermenting honey, mead has an historical claim to predating both wine and beer production. This surprisingly delicate example offers a pleasingly aromatic touch to the sweet honey notes. It also gains complexity and depth from barrel aging. (VINTAGES panel, Aug. 2015)

This semi-sweet and delicious mead has complex aromas and flavours of wildflower honey, Mandarin orange, ripe pears, marzipan and ginger. Barrel-aging in premium French oak for six months provides a smooth, lingering finish. Enjoy with food or to celebrate special occasions such as toasts at weddings, anniversaries and special holidays. Chill before serving.
