Saxnōt Meadery Elderflower Mead

The Elderflower Mead from Saxnōt Meadery infuses classic mead with dried elderflower, creating a delicate, floral expression that captures the essence of English summer.

This mead excels in balance: the light elderflower character complements the natural sweetness of honey, resulting in a refreshing, elegant drink perfect for sunny occasions.

Production:

Elderflower Mead begins as a Traditional Mead base. Dried elderflowers are introduced at the start of fermentation to capture fresh floral aromatics. The mead then matures on the lees to enhance mouthfeel and integrate the elderflower notes.

Pairing Suggestions:

It pairs well with goat’s cheese salad, light seafood dishes or poached pear desserts. Served chilled, it brightens long, golden summer evenings.

Tasting Note:

The nose is fragrant with elderflower and wild honey. The palate is crisp and floral, featuring hints of lemon zest and a clean, slightly effervescent finish.
