'Traditional
Mead' Winner of The Best Honey Based Drink at the National Fruit Wine, Mead & Liqueur Awards, 2004 "Mid Yellow gold colour. Strong heather honey nose of intensity and some richness. Fairness on palate – some heather spice – mid to high acidity – mid length. Some style." JCOS* Medium sweet; not fortified but fermented to a strength of 14%. A fun drink with a serious taste! Everything you'd expect from a classic mead.

'Spiced Mead' (Metheglin) Silver Medal Winner of the mead section at The National Honey Show 2004 "Deep yellow gold colour Strong cloves on nose - some plum character - rich and broad Strong spice on palate - clean and rich Long acidity - some class." JCOS* Well rounded with a lot of fireside warmth. Takes the chill off winters' evenings. 12.5% to revive you after long walks. |

'Redcurrant Mead' - Melomel (alternatively available as Blackcurrant) "Mid yellow / orange colour. Orange peel nose. Tart Redcurrant character. Redcurrant spice on palate - quite green acidity – long – quite tart. Interesting and characterful." JCOS* Hints of a Californian style; wildly fruity, yet still capturing the full floral / honey bouquet. Big glassfuls iced in summer - try mixing it with Champagne; raunchy Ninemaidens Royale! 12.5% Med dry.
