A family of three standing in front of a booth at an outdoor event. The booth has black and green tents, with a sign that reads 'UNDISTURBED Honey Wine of Ôtākou.' The woman is holding a young boy, and a man is standing next to them. There are bottles of honey wine displayed on the booth table.

Our Story.

Living long and well is important to us. With a little one on the way and thinking of the future, we began searching for a healthier, eco-friendly wine. A beekeeping friend introduced us to honey wine (mead), sparking the exploration of local honeys and botanicals that are both good for the body and sustainably produced.

Finding the right honey was crucial. Fortunately, the Ōtautahi Beekeepers Co-op provides the ideal source. They have hives across the city, particularly in the red zone, where their bees actively contribute to its regeneration.

After numerous trials, rhubarb - that tangy, digestion friendly herb commonly found in South Island backyards - emerged as the perfect balance to the sweetness of honey. Rhubarb’d was born and more varieties since.

The result is a smooth, flavoursome meads with no added chemicals that embody our commitment to sustainability, wellness, and a harmonious drinking experience that leaves the earth and the conscience undisturbed.

From our family to yours.
