Still Mead

"Wintermede" Still Sweet mead - our Flagship product

Gold Medal, best Mead/White wine 1999 International Competition
A rich sweet dessert style mead made from dark bush honeys, similar in taste to a Botrytis style, ideal for cold Winter nights and especially good for mulling, either on its own or with added spices.

"Gingermede"

Wintermede with just the right amount of Ginger.
Gold Medal, best Mead/White wine 2006 International Competition
Gingermede is made specially for mulling, on cold winter nights, but can also be drunk at room temperature.
Gingermede is also great as a "long" drink:
Put 2 or 3 thin slices of cucumber in the bottom of a Collins glass and add ice. Then 1/3 to 1/2 fill with Gingermede. Let stand for 3-5 minutes. Top up with soda water and dunk a slice of Tangelo or Orange in the mix for 3 to 5 seconds and remove - very refreshing!

"Manuka 'Sack' Mead" Still Medium Dry, Oak fermented.

Silver medal, 2006 International Competition
Manuka 'Sack' is a Manuka-based mead, golden colour, medium dry. It is full flavoured, and most closely resembles a rich, oaked, malo-lactic style Chardonnay.
