Lindisfarne Mead is a unique alcoholic fortified wine manufactured here on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. The honey which is used in the production of Lindisfarne Mead is drawn from the four corners of the world & here, on the isl&, it is vatted with fermented grape juice, honey, herbs, & the pure natural water of an artesian well & fortified with fine spirits to produce this unique drink. Lindisfarne Mead is produced exclusively on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, situated off the Northumbrian Coast. This island is the Cradle of Christianity in Engl&, for in the year 634 A.D., Oswald, King of Northumberl&, brought St. Aidan from the island of Iona to establish a monastery here. The motifs illuminating our labels are drawn from Bishop Eadfrith's magnificient Lindisfarne Gospels written circa 700 AD., which, with the Books of Durrow & Kells, remain a living testimony to the devotion & love of beauty & culture which existed in those distant times.
