The Perfect Serve
We do recommend using a stemless wine glass or tumbler. But if you want to use your drinking horn, or medieval mether, feel free!
Atlantic Dry Mead
Serve lightly chilled or over ice in a tumbler or stemless wine glass
Lovely with salty snacks such as olives, roasted nuts, seafood, smoked salmon or trout, raspberry and white chocolate sponge or goat’s cheese.
Tasting Notes: A lovely floral, citrus aroma, a long lingering hint of honey and almost no sweetness. This light crisp honey drink is a great introduction to traditional style meads. Made from orange blossom honey, matured for a year to finish at 12% ABV, crisp and off dry.
Wild Red Mead
Lovely and smooth served at room temperature.
Delicious when paired with food such as rich, tomato-y Italian dishes, roast duck, sticky barbecue ribs or good quality chocolate and a cheeseboard.
Tasting Notes: Whole Wexford blackcurrants and sweet dark cherries fermented off-dry with forest honey and matured for 2 years. Packed full of flavour, it’s an intriguing alternative to full-bodied red wines, delivering on fruitiness with soft tannins, beautifully balanced with a wonderfully smooth finish.
Hazy Summer Mead
Delicious served slightly chilled or poured over frozen berries in a tumbler or sharing jug.
Lovely with spicy chicken wings, chorizo and fresh salads or berry pavlova or blue cheese. Try it with fruity trifle.
Tasting Notes: Hazy Summer Mead is made from six ripe summer berries for a fabulous, fruity, off-dry berry mead with generous strawberry and raspberry aromas. A lovely burst of summer in a glass, blackberries, blackcurrants and cherries with a smooth, subtle honey and blueberry finish.
