Mānuka Mead
The Essence of New Zealand, Bottled
Mānuka honey is New Zealand’s most famous honey - maybe even the world's most famous. When we first experimented with it, we were blown away. Nothing is added - just Mānuka honey - and the complexity of flavours is unlike anything you’ve tried before.
Mānuka mead is deep, rich, and layered, with flavours that shift as you sip. The weight of it on the palate is reminiscent of port, but it’s more moreish, more nuanced. It carries the land it comes from in every drop - earthy, spicy, and sweet.
TASTING NOTESVanilla, warm spices, subtle woodiness, and the unmistakable richness of mānuka honey.
PURCHASEOur Mānuka mead is available in standard 500ml bottle, a case of 9, or ultra-sustainable 2L boxes.

ABOUT UNDISTURBEDOur 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.
HEALTH & GOODNESSMead isn’t wine, beer, or cider- but its own category. It’s something older and more elemental, carrying traces of the flowers or the forest. With undetectable heavy metals, minimal sulphites, and a natural trace of protein, our meads exhibit uncommon purity.
Independent testing showed undetectable levels of heavy metals (below 0.10 mg/kg). That’s an exceptionally clean profile for any alcoholic drink, and it reflects the pristine New Zealand landscapes where our bees forage.
Our meads are crafted with only minimal sulphites thanks to honey being a natural preservative.
For many people, this makes for a gentler, more natural beverage.
| Test Result | Undisturbed Mead | Typical Wine | What It Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy metals | Undetectable (<0.10 mg/kg) | Trace amounts often present | Exceptionally pure |
| Sulphites | Low (minimal added) | 50–200 mg/L | Gentler on many drinkers |
| Protein | Trace present | None | Unique to honey fermentation |
| Sodium | Trace | Trace | Negligible difference |
