"The wine is pale lemon yellow in color with greenish highlights. It has a fine and persistent perlage. Fruity aromas include notes of citrus, apple, pear and aromatic herbs. The wine is fresh, lively and medium structured." —winemaker

"A ruby-red color; an intense and rich nose redolent of black raisins; a full-bodied rounded palate showcases the sweetness of dried raisins; the mouth is filled with marvelous Mavrodaphne notes while the tongue receives a welcome surprise in the guise of this intensely pleasurable versatile wine." —winemaker

"A historical sweet dessert wine made from crushed grapes that are fermented until the process stops naturally due to the high sugar content. The must is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of two years. Similar to the solera system, the barrels are never completely emptied. New juice is added to the barrel containing old juice and the process begins again. A sweet wine with a powerful bouquet filled with dried fruits, spices and oak. It is luscious and full-bodied." —winemaker

"For authentic Irish drinks, one need look no farther than Bunratty Meade Honey Wine, made from white wine with honey and herbs. The drink of ancient Gauls and Anglo Saxons, Mead was originally made by monks centuries ago from fermented honey and water. Mead soon made its way into the courts of the Four Kings of Ireland and no banquet was complete without it.

"This honey-based drink was said to possess powers of virility and fertility, and it became custom for a bride and groom to drink mead for one full moon after their wedding, giving birth to the word 'honeymoon.' In Ireland today, it is still tradition to toast the bride and groom with a glass of Meade when they depart on their honeymoon from the wedding feast.

"Bunratty Meade Honey Wine is superb when chilled and served over ice. A mixture of wine, honey, and herbs, Meade is a completely authentic Irish drink." —winemaker
