Rhubarb Mead - "A polished gold and pink hued appearance leads to a bouquet of classic mead with a fragrant leesy and floral quality, rose and wild flowers, honey and cold stone earthy quality. Enticing, fragrant and unique. On the palate a lush and sweet mead with a satin touch and flavours of rose and rhubarb, honeysuckle and honey with a purity of flavour, fine lees complexity and lengthy finish. Definitely serve chilled." 92 points - Premium

New Zealand Master Sommelier, Cameron Douglas, has reviewed some of Undisturbed's mead range ... with high ratings!

Manuka Mead - "The bouquet is unique with scents of wild flowers and honeysuckle, manuka flowers then suggestions of honey and a quiet yet exotic perfume. On the palate a fresh mead taste with a quiet rush of sweetness then honey, manuka and wild flowers. Persistent, lengthy and well made, a beverage for everyday drinking and a natural alternative to w**e and other alcoholic beverages. Natural with a light leesy quality. Best from day of purchase through to 2030. Perhaps keep chilled once open." 93 - Excellent

NEW to Cheese & Cheers is the delightful Undisturbed Mead range including the Canterbury Lavender Mead.

A floral expression of place - made from honey gathered by bees pollinating Canterbury lavender fields. No lavender is added during production - the flavour is shaped naturally through the landscape the bees forage in.

Clear, calming, surprisingly complex, Canterbury Lavender Mead offers a softer side of the Undisturbed range while continuing our focus on showcasing the unique flavours of Aotearoa flora. A mead to get lost in.

Cheese & Cheer is in the Vines Village at 193 Rapaura Road, open every day from 10am.
