Makana iQhilika African Herbal Blossom Mead

A semi-sweet mead (~20g/l residual sugar) infused with a tea of hibiscus, rosehip, licorice, cinnamon, and dried apples.

The herbs provide a smooth structure to the mead with a lingering honey aftertaste. Ideally served at around 55 degrees (F), in a large red wine glass to allow development of the nose.

A good stand alone ‘sundowner’, a well matched partner to spicy dishes & stir fries, game & poultry, and a companion to desserts & coffees.

GOLD MEDAL WINNER at the 2007 International Mead Festival, Boulder, CO

Makana iQhilika African Herbal Blossom Mead

Grahamstown Brewery Pty (Ltd), trading as Makana Meadery, was founded in the year 2000 with the primary objective of placing this 20,000 year old South African honey based beverage, iQhilika on the world’s shelves.

Makana Meadery is a modern, hi-tech African Meadery making African style meads with a global approach. Advanced recipes are used, and the mead is filtered and packaged so that it is both attractive and pleasant to consume. In this way the meadery is bridging the divide between a largely dormant European mead drinking culture, and a vibrant African mead drinking culture – creating and preserving the history of mead drinking.

Makana Meadery is an equitable, empowerment driven company. It is more than 50% owned and funded by previously disadvantaged individuals and is as such an Affirmative Business Enterprise. The company was founded by Dr Garth Cambray, the late Dr Winston Leukes (1969-2006) and Vuyani Ntantiso.
