Marlborough Summer Mead
A New Taste of New Zealand Summer
Gently sweet like a lazy summer afternoon at the beach.
This mead is made from honey gathered in the natural bush of the Marlborough Sounds, where steep, forested hills fall into sheltered bays. Holiday homes cling to the cliffs above the water, accessible only by boat, and protected from the open sea by the surrounding land.
A seasonal, limited small-batch release, made possible thanks to the work of Marlborough beekeepers.
TASTING NOTESLightly sweet on the palate, unfolding into a lingering forest character. Subtle feijoa-like notes play across the tongue, adding freshness and intrigue to the finish
Marlborugh Summer mead is available in standard 500ml bottle, and a case of 9.

HONEY ORIGINCoastal New Zealand Bush Honey
Our Marlborough Sounds honey is sourced from selected hives sitting on the bush that lines the inlets of Marlborugh Sounds, at the top of the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our seasonal edition is made sustainably with the help of beekeepers who maintain hives near the bush surrounding Marlborugh Sounds.
No forest clearing, no irrigation, no bulldozers. No unnatural sugars or flavours.
Just trees, bees and time.
Mead, particularly when made with locally sourced honey, can make a claim to be the most sustainable alcohol in the world.
With the help of Marlborugh beekeepers.
