Made on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne off the north coast, this mead is made with fermented grape juice, honey, herbs and pure water.
Not a pure Mead! Its just honey flavoured white wine. Bought a case and complained that it was white wine flavoured with honey, and got my money back.
Delicious Refreshing Sweet Gorgeous
Can’t get enough...!
A very nice "Fake" mead with more of a semi-sweet profile than the Moniak and Lyme Bay traditional that I tried. A good alternative to a desert wine if "real" mead tastes toom much of honey for your liking. Strong dry-wine aroma with almost no smell of honey. First taste is definitely that of a dry wine, with almost all of the associated heat, but with a smoother delivery. Leaves you with a nice warming sensation and a slight syrupy mouth feel, very light on the honey taste. Also doesnt feel as thick as other meads, which probably means it doesnt have as much honey content as the Lyme Bay, which is also a pyment, just not ouright stated on the bottle or their website like this is. Again, a nice drink that I would probably choose over a proper desert wine but if it's mead you're after do yourself a favour and choose the Moniak as it actually uses fermented honey unlike the Lyme Bay and this, and you can really tell the difference.
I have tried the normal, dark and pink "meads" from Landisfarne and they all taste like cheap grape wine with some sugar/honey preservatives mixed in (just read the ingredients and see). They shouldn't be allowed to trade, complete scam.
