The Lyme Bay Winery Jack Ratt Traditional Mead, 75 cl

Founded more than 30 years ago in the sleepy green hills of East Devon, this estate is located outside Axminster, near the historic and medieval Shute estate. In this area of outstanding natural beauty, just a stone’s throw away from the Jurassic coast, Lyme Bay conserves the best of English wine and mead-making tradition. This traditional mead is crafted using a blend of fermented honey, water, and yeast, with no added fruits or spices, resulting in a smooth and richly flavoured drink that pays homage to ancient mead-making techniques. This one is a sweet, full-flavoured mead with rich, deep honey flavours and a moreish honeycomb finish. It makes for great accompaniment to strong cheeses and full-flavoured casseroles.
