The 2022 honey harvest marked a significant milestone for us at Loxwood Meadworks. This was the first year our bee colonies produced a surplus substantial enough for us to craft a limited vintage honey wine—a project that’s been close to our hearts since we first began our journey. Each bottle in this vintage holds not only the flavours of a remarkable year but also the culmination of dedication, patience, and a love for this timeless craft.

While every harvest feels like a small victory, 2022 held particular significance as it provided enough honey to achieve our first official vintage release. This honey wine embodies the hard work of nurturing our colonies, and the excitement of turning this honey into something truly special. It’s a celebration of our bees’ resilience, the beauty of our surroundings, and our dedication to honouring tradition with a modern twist.

Our 2022 vintage reflects not only the artistry of honey wine but also our commitment to the environment. Working closely with local beekeepers, we ensure that our bees have access to a diverse habitat, essential for their health and the rich, nuanced flavours of our honey. This year, more than ever, we’re grateful for our bees and the role they play in bringing this first vintage to life.

With only 480 bottles available, this first vintage release is a true collector’s item, capturing the unique story of our 2022 harvest. Perfect for ageing, savouring, or sharing, it’s our way of bringing you closer to the heart of Loxwood, one sip at a time. We hope you’ll enjoy the journey, savouring the unique herbaceous notes of this vintage as much as we enjoyed crafting it.

Thank you for joining us on this exciting milestone. Here’s to the bees, to a year of abundance, and to many more vintages to come.

With love,

Danny & Emily
