Earthquake Batonnage Mead 2016 - Certified Organic - Limited EditionThe inspiration for this mead came from a dark honey recipe of 1593. Three honey's were blended together; Blue Borage, Manuka and Honey Dew to produce a strongly flavoured must in January 2016. Fermentation continued strongly in an oak cask and was well settled and ageing 10 months later. The mead in this bottle is totally unique and is a one off, never to be repeated bottling. It is the result of the 7. 8 Kaikoura Earthquake which occurred at 12: 02
The honey for this mead was harvested from the Clarence Valley on the 20th March 2017

A period of prolonged ageing in our French oak casks for 5 years has given this mead a tawny hue
At that time this mead had been ageing in an oak barrel when the earthquake stuck
we decided on a special blended mead
