Afon Mel Blackberry Mead 75cl

Afon Mel Blackberry Mead

A beautifully crafted Welsh fruit mead made from local honey and ripe blackberries. Traditionally aged in barrels and bottles, this small-batch honey wine allows its flavours to develop naturally, creating a rich and layered expression that celebrates the character of Welsh flora.

The addition of juicy blackberries brings vibrant fruit intensity to the smooth sweetness of honey, resulting in a mead that is both refreshing and indulgent.
