FAQ's For Afon Mel Medium Honey Mead

How is this mead made?

This mead is crafted from pure wildflower honey sourced from Welsh landscapes, fermented traditionally to preserve natural aromatics and regional character. Using slightly less honey creates a medium style, still sweet, but with a lighter, fruit‑forward profile.

Fermentation is slow and careful, allowing the honey’s floral nuances to shine. The result is a mead with smooth texture, balanced sweetness and a gentle fruitiness that reflects both craftsmanship and terroir.

What is mead?

Mead is one of the world’s oldest alcoholic drinks, made by fermenting honey with water. Unlike grape wine, where sugars come from fruit, mead gets its flavour and character from honey.

Depending on the amount of honey used and fermentation style, meads can range from dry and refreshing to rich and sweet.

How should mead be served?
  • Neat as an after-dinner drink
  • Over ice for a refreshing serve
  • As an alternative to dessert wine
Can mead be used in cocktails?

Yes. Mead can be used creatively in cocktails, adding natural sweetness and floral depth. It works well with:

  • Citrus flavours
  • Fresh herbs
  • Sparkling wine
  • Ginger
  • Light spirits
