Maxwell Honey Mead N.V.
McLaren Vale, South Australia
Mead is made by fermenting honey, unlike normal wines which are made from fermented grape juice. Archaeological evidence suggests honey was among the first substances to be fermented by humans.
This original mead has a delicate bouquet of floral beeswax and nutty marmalade-like aromas. Refreshingly light on the palate subtle apricot and honey characters fill the mouth, finishing with a degree to piquancy. Well match with Mandarin sorbet and blue cheese. Ideally consumed chilled (over ice), it can also be mixed with soda water, lemonade, or dry ginger ale.
Alc. 12.5%

Winery Profile
MAXWELL WINES – McLaren Vale
Maxwell Wines, with its 40 acre vineyard of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Grenache and Verdelho, is north of the township of McLaren Vale, just a fifty minute drive south from Adelaide. In 1997 Maxwell Wines relocated from their original winery, established in 1979, to a new site designed to take advantage of the gravitational flow of the grapes, contributing to the quality of the wine.
