Wild Red Mead
A refreshing melomel-style mead made from tart Wexford blackcurrants beautifully balanced with dark cherries, tempered with a hint of honey. Matured for at least 18 months in our tanks for a silky smooth finish.
12% ABV and off-dry.
Our blackcurrants come from Ballykelly farm in Wexford. They are pollinated by bumblebees so Des leaves piles of dry sticks and leaves in the corners for the bumblebees’ nests.
Each batch is mixed, fermented and matured with care and passion and attention to quality and sustainability. We use pure honey, local water and yeast as well as carefully sourced fruits in our authentic meads. We don’t use a white wine base and no sugar is added.
Naturally Gluten Free. Low in sulfites. 70cl bottle.
Serve: It is delicious served at room temperature on its own or with food.
Food Pairing; Our go-to dish for Wild Red Mead is sticky barbecue ribs. Put a dash in the marinade and drizzle with honey! Great sticky BBQ ribs or medieval feast dishes such as roast duck or venison, sausages and black pudding. Lovely with strong cheeses, Christmas mincepies or good quality chocolates. We love it with Chocolate brownies too.
Reviews: It’s absolutely phenomenal stuff; my girlfriend bought me a bottle of it while she was in Kinsale couple of weeks ago and I’ve just noticed you provide it to my local off-licence 👌🏻 It won’t be my last bottle (Paul, Ireland)
