Sussex Sunset Honey Wine MV

Golden straw colour. Flavours of peach, apple, pear, honeysuckle, jasmine, and a touch of vanilla panna cotta. Rich, full bodied with flavours of apricot jam, custard, and spicy vanilla.

Perfect as a fresh, delicately sweet aperitif. It also pairs beautifully with rich and buttery chicken, fish or vegetarian dishes or, a cheese and charcuterie board. Enjoy pure mead any time you would enjoy a glass of wine. It’s great to share with friends for any occasion – from a warm summer’s day to a cosy night in with a cheeseboard.

Best served at 11 - 13°C or slightly warmed for a more festive approach.

Winemaker / mead-maker Oliver works on the estate. Typically, mead is associated with all things medieval. Founder Danny was selling mead for The Loxwood Joust (an annual medieval festival he runs in West Sussex). Seeing how much people loved it, he thought "Why does no one drink mead anymore? Surely we can bring it back, but in a modern way"... So, Danny ventured out to find a team to ignite his vision. Together, they embark on a mission to re-imagine how mead can look, taste, and live in a modern world. Starting from scratch, they experimented, tasted, designed (and tasted some more) until they created the signature Pure Mead you see today. Launching a new product into the world, the team have thought from day 1 about its effect on the planet. They are committed to conscious production, a focus on minimising their carbon footprint, and most importantly, protecting their most important workers – the bees.

There is no vineyard! Simply a 28-acre woodland and meadow filled with wildflowers, where Loxwood Meadworks care for their bee colonies.
