Loxwood Meadworks Sussex Sunset, English Honey Wine, Sussex, England
Founder, Danny Bacon, was selling mead for The Loxwood Joust (a medieval festival he runs). Seeing how much people loved it, he thought “Why does no one drink mead anymore? Surely we can bring it back, but in a modern way”… and therefore created Loxwood Meadworks. Each wine is made using 100% local honey in the ferment (the process that makes the alcohol). It’s fermented dry, and then back-sweetened with honey, to give the most natural flavour and a delicate sweetness. Sussex Sunset, an innovative dry honey wine, deepened by oak fermentation.
Deep gold in the glass with flavours and aromas of citrus and apple with hints of oak and honeycomb texture. Balanced roundness with acidity and made in a dry style. Serve chilled in a wine glass!
