You don’t have to be in Game of Thrones to drink Mead, thanks to Biddenden Vineyards
Biddenden Vineyards has further expanded its product range with the launch of the first Kentish Mead, Special Mead, in early September 2015.
Mead is one of the oldest beverages produced by mankind but has seen a large revival in recent months. Biddenden Special Mead has been produced using modern methods from fermented fruit and honey which is then sweetened with fine honeys to give a deep amber colour and a deliciously rich, full flavoured, aromatic, sweet Pyment style wine.
Julian Barnes, winemaker and managing director at Biddenden, said: “Mead is on the rise as a popular drink of choice and is quickly coming back into fashion. It is the perfect addition to our special ciders range, along with our Special Reserve, for those cider lovers looking for something a little bit different.”
Biddenden has been producing ciders, including its famous Strong Kentish cider, for over 40 years. All Biddenden’s ciders are made from the juice of carefully selected culinary and dessert apples giving a more wine like style than those found in the West Country produced from bittersweet apples. Working closely with local farmers Biddenden ensures all its apples are sourced right from the Garden of England, making it truly Kentish cider.
The Special Mead is available in the vineyard shop and can be purchased online at www.biddendenvineyards.com
