It’s an exciting time at the meadery with three brand-new meads hitting the shelves!

Red Raspberry Mountain Honey Wine is a new release in our Mountain Honey Wine line. Lightly sweet, it’s perfect with grilled meats and vegetables or fruity desserts. ($22, 750 ml bottle, 12% alcohol.)

Bursting with jammy raspberry flavor is our newest Redstone Reserve release. The 2007 Red Raspberry Reserve is a rich, sweet, complex dessert wine – the ultimate indulgence and our newest Reserve release since 2013! Available only in our tasting room and online store. ($55, 500 ml bottle, 13.5% alcohol.)

The Red Raspberry Reserve is also available in mead chocolates! These are a dark chocolate shell filled with mead. Available only in our tasting room. These make a great gift for the holidays! ($2/single chocolate or $10/box of five.)

Finally, we have a brand-new Nectar release. The Sunflower Nectar is our first single-varietal honey nectar. Light, carbonated, and refreshing, it has tart citrus notes up front that lead into a mellow sweetness on the finish. ($15, 750 ml bottle, 8% alcohol.)

We’re proud to announce a number of recent awards to Redstone meads.
