Fundamentally, honey is flower nectar that has been collected and transformed by honey bees. The species of flower from which that nectar is harvested determines the flavor of the honey. There are well over a quarter million species of flowering plants in the world and each one has evolved nectar with a distinct botanical essence. Our job as meadmakers is to preserve, nurture and reveal this botanical individuality from its creation in the flower to the mead in your glass.
We produce sparkling mead varietals from both monofloral and wildflower honeys. Many of our wildflower varietals are composed of honey from beehives we maintain ourselves in various ecosystems in Northern California. We source the honey for our monofloral varieties directly from other beekeepers throughout the US and around the world. The diversity of flower species serves as our palette and winemaking is our canvas.
