Lindisfarne Dark Mead is a rich and characterful variation of the famous Lindisfarne Mead, crafted using traditional methods at St. Aidan’s Winery on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Inspired by the region’s long history from Roman times to the present day, this darker expression offers a deeper, fuller flavour profile.
 
Made from a carefully balanced blend of honey sourced from around the world, including honey from hives along the River Tweed, this mead captures both international and local character. The darker colour reflects its richer taste, delivering a smooth and warming drink with a beautifully layered sweetness.
 
Produced in the pure, unpolluted air of the historic tidal island of Lindisfarne, the mead embodies the heritage and natural beauty of Northumberland. Its complex honey richness and gentle depth make it particularly appealing to those who enjoy port or sherry-style drinks.
 
Lindisfarne Dark Mead can be enjoyed before or after a meal and offers a wonderful alternative to traditional fortified wines, making it perfect for those looking to discover something unique.
