Maxwell have been crafting the finest McLaren wines since 1880, but they are also known for world class Mead. Maxwell Mead has been acclaimed by leading wine critics and the industry press for several decades. Spiced Mead is without equal when enjoyed warm during the cold weather months. It's also the special beverage that's called upon to set the atmosphere throughout the Xmas and New Year festive season. Serve Maxwell just warmed until it barely steams, the delicious aromas and flavours meld together to provide a warming experience.
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.
TASTING NOTES
Orange tawny. Bouquet of honey and citrus, an added zest from the spices, cinnamon and clove. These spicy characters are carried through on the palate, filling the mouth with a complex and satisfying array of flavours. Traditionally served hot but not scalding, to enhance its aromas and warm the soul, it can also find uses in the kitchen as an ingredient in cakes and fruit pies.

The Maxwell family is also famous for its range of Maxwell Meads, being the most significant producer in the southern hemisphere of this time-honoured, delicious and golden fermented honey.
