Ninemaidens Mead

Ninemaidens produce traditionally brewed meads made with the finest Cornish honey from their apiaries and locally sourced fruit.

Spiced Mead
Often known as Metheglin, Spiced Mead is a restorative drink; a finely balanced brew of fermented floral honey with a unique blend of spices.

Redcurrant Mead
A melomel made from luscious berries at their most piquant! A refreshing drink simply made from the fermentation of honey and pressed fruit. 12.5% ABV.

Blackcurrant Mead
Sharp and fruity! Serve as an aperitif, as a mixer, or chilled with ice for a crisp and fresh summer taste. 12.5% ABV.

Traditional Mead
This mead has an unadulterated, pure quality. It is made from some of the finest Cornish honey Ninemaidens’ bees can produce. Perfect over ice on a summer’s evening, or as a winter reminder of warmer days. 14.5% ABV.

Gwires
Gwires is a crystal clear, vibrant spirit with a floral, honeyed bouquet and a warm rounded finish. 40% alcohol by volume. The name “Gwires” (pronounced gwi’rez) is taken from the Cornish word meaning alcoholic spirit, and it is produced by distilling the highest quality mead.

Apple Mead
Inspired by the ancient drink of Cyser and made from the double fermentation of selected local apple juices and honey. A medium dry mead at 12.5% ABV.

Heather Mead
Heather Mead is produced from the fermentation of Cornish heather honey to 14% ABV with aromas suggesting gorse and broom. Its bitter-sweet flavour has melon notes over a long, mellow finish.

Kea Plum Mead
Kea Plums are uniquely Cornish: a small plum similar to a damson, they are too sharp to eat fresh and are traditionally used for jam making. They provide an excellent blend to sweet honeyed mead.

Clear Honey
Award winning multi-floral Cornish honey.
