Once a year, our fermentation specialist Andrew Tape creates ferments his Cuvée Oranger, a prize-winning dry mead made with orange blossom honey.
Orange blossom honey is a favourite among American mead makers, often because of its availability rather than its quality. With this cuvée, we take inspiration from American versions and create our own “made in the French Pyrenees” interpretation, using high-quality orange blossom honey harvested in Andalusia. This dry, lightly sparkling mead allows the terroir of the orange groves to fully express itself, with floral and citrus notes blending beautifully with the flavours of the honey.Batch 191-23: 12% alc. vol. – residual sugar at bottling: approximately 20 g/L
Mead categories differ from those of wine and generally contain slightly more sugar. At 25 g/L or less, a mead is considered dry. This style allows the honey’s distinctive notes to express themselves more fully, highlighting the botanical characteristics of the surrounding flora while preserving the character of the honey itself. Our dry meads are balanced by natural acidity provided by bacteria native to the hive, a method unique to our meads.
