"Has a delicate, fragrant nose, with greenish hints of honeysuckle, evanescent apple and just a touch of vanilla. The taste is elegant, fresh and subtly vivacious. The structure harmonizing well with the pleasant taste. Light straw-yellow with bright reflections." —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 The drink of ancient Gauls and Anglo Saxons, Mead was originally made by monks centuries ago from fermented honey and water.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

"Fruity, fresh and pleasant. It fills the mouth, expressing the good quality of the base wine. The very well balanced acidity and the medium size bubbles produce a very pleasant mouth feel." —winemaker

"Citric and lightly tropical aroma. Balanced in the mouth with a refreshing acidity." —winemaker
