More About Lindisfarne Ginger Mead

A warming twist on the classic Lindisfarne Mead, made on Holy Island from honey, fermented grape juice, Northumberland water and neutral spirit, then blended with their ginger wine. The ginger brings a gentle heat to the naturally sweet, honeyed base, giving it a richer and more warming character than the original. At 14.5%, it's a proper after-dinner sort of drink, equally good served chilled or used as a winter warmer.

Meet the Producer, Lindisfarne

Lindisfarne

Style: Mead

Lindisfarne Mead feels like something that should be consumed either beside a fireplace or while planning a minor medieval invasion. It carries that sort of atmosphere.

Produced on Holy Island off the Northumberland coast, Lindisfarne Mead takes inspiration from the island’s monastic history, where monks are believed to have made mead centuries ago. Modern production began in the 1960s at St Aidan’s Winery, though the drink itself still leans heavily into that old-world identity.

Unlike some modern craft meads that taste aggressively of raw honey and ambition, Lindisfarne is softer and more approachable. Technically it sits somewhere between traditional mead and fortified wine, blending honey with fermented grape juice, herbs and spirit. The result is rich, sweet and warming without becoming completely exhausting after one glass.

Flavour-wise, expect honey, dried fruit, soft spice and a slightly herbal edge underneath the sweetness. It’s very much a winter drink for most people, though there’s also a strong argument for pouring it over ice at Christmas while pretending you’re outdoorsy enough to own a wax jacket.

Holy Island itself probably does half the marketing naturally. Tidal causeway, monastery ruins, sea air and centuries of religious history tends to create a fairly strong sense of place before you’ve even opened the bottle.
