About the producer: Three generations of vignerons. Everyone born and bred in McLaren Vale. But Mark Maxwell inherited more than a love for the vine and the Vale. It’s in his blood to think beyond the ordinary. To innovate. To build everything himself. To go against the grain, and even the grape. It’s this family, after all, that pioneered the mead industry in Australia, and set the standard for honey wine globally. After a decade or more of experimentation with different honey’s and yeasts the famous Maxwell Honey Mead was born. The first commercial label was released in 1961 and with it, the birth the Australian mead industry.
