OVERVIEW
Mead is wine made from honey rather than grapes. It is an ancient and storied beverage, predating even the Agricultural Revolution. For millennia, libations made from honey have figured prominently in the civilizations of many peoples on many continents. It has been proclaimed "Nectar of the Gods", to be sure, but it has also been the staple beverage of the common man.

While our lives are enriched by an appreciation of mead's historical significance, we are not prohibited by that heritage from advancing new methods of meadmaking. Heidrun Meadery is concerned with the development of superlative, sparkling Champagne style mead varietals that reflect the preferences of our modern palate—remaining respectful of mead's legacy and drawing attention to the inherent characteristics of the honey itself. The objective is not to improve on the nature of honey; it is to reveal honey's true character—its essence—so that we might better appreciate this wondrous substance.
