Haewai Meadery : Wellington New Zealand

I was on a hike over the weekend and we stumbled across the Haewai (Maori for light reflecting on water) Meadery by accident.

We popped in to the homestead and participated in a tasting.

They have an emphasis on using organic ingredients (including spring water sourced on the property) in their herb infused meads.
These herb infused drinks are not subtle in taste and pack a bit of a wallop in the mouth. They have a strong presence in the room, and I've had a number of comments from folk who are around me when I'm drinking these brews.
Less like wine, more like spirits.

The infused mead have a medicinal heritage and a wag in our group quipped during the tastings that sipping the samples 'was like taking your medicine', to which other members quickly replied 'in the nicest possible way'
