Trial by Fire – 2026 Bochet Mead
Trial by Fire is our most refined Bochet mead yet, handcrafted at Amrita Park Meadery using honey harvested from our own hives in the Noosa Hinterland.
Unlike a traditional mead, a Bochet begins by slowly caramelising the honey over heat before fermentation. This ancient process transforms the honey, creating remarkable layers of caramel, toasted marshmallow, vanilla and rich toffee while preserving the unmistakable character of premium Australian honey.
Following fermentation, Trial by Fire is matured on French oak, adding subtle spice, gentle vanilla and a beautifully smooth finish that lingers long after each sip.
This 2026 vintage is a rich, warming mead designed for slow enjoyment and showcases the depth that only carefully crafted Bochet mead can achieve.
