The wine

Britain's oldest drink, made properly. Slow-fermented Sussex honey gives a golden wine of real aromatic lift: orange blossom, beeswax and dried apricot, with a gentle sweetness held in check by clean acidity and a warm, lingering finish. Nothing like the sticky mead of legend. Serve well chilled as an aperitif, or after dinner with a wedge of hard cheese.

Loxwood Meadworks revives Britain's oldest fermented drink. Mead predates wine and beer in these islands by centuries, the drink of Anglo-Saxon halls and Chaucer's pilgrims, and it fell almost entirely out of fashion until a handful of modern producers took it seriously again.

Working from the Sussex Weald, Loxwood ferments honey slowly and cleanly, treating it with the same patience a winemaker gives grape must. The result is a world away from the syrupy stuff sold in cathedral gift shops: balanced, aromatic and genuinely drinkable. Serve it chilled as an aperitif, or after dinner with a hard cheese and a fire. History, in a bottle, and rather good with it.
