Introduced to Australia by Ken Maxwell (1915-2004) the Maxwell family is the largest and most successful producer of Mead in the southern hemisphere.The many styles produced over the centuries were the inspiration for Ken Maxwell's research into it's production. Commencing in the 1950s, Maxwell's work culminated in three distinct styles. Years of devotion to this ancient style of wine have provided Maxwell with unique, esoteric skills to select the most suitable honeys and best strains of yeast, while perfecting the complications of stuck ferments and off flavours which can plague the process. Maxwell are now enjoyed around the world, bringing Australian honey wines to a new generation of ethusiasts.
