To obtain a variety of products derived from your own honey, “Hydromel du Sud”will transform your honey into oenological mead. With the help of a wine laboratory, oenologists, and all other partners from the traditional wine production, we offer an innovative service that will help you all over the process.

What we offer.

Define the objectives for the product in terms of style, equilibrium, consumers, date of sale. Comparative tastings and a benchmarking will help you oenologists and “Hydromels du Sud”to elaborate the meads you wish to obtain.

 

Elaborate mead standards that will enable the validation of the objectives.

 

Produce meads from your own honeys, using our knowledge of controlled fermentations (controlled temperature, use of oenological yeasts, analytical monitoring, and controlled kinetics).

 

Aging. Either performed in tanks or in wooden barrels, according to the style of your meads, your timing and your financial constraints.   

 

Elaborate your Mead vintages. Our œnologists have successfully transferred the knowledge of wine assembling to mead. The honeys and their regions of production confer to the meads what the grapes, their vines and soils, confer to the wine.

 

Monitoring and conditioning. Our laboratory makes accurate and rapid analyses adapted to mead elaboration. Mead stabilization is achieved through a filtration-based sterilization and the controlled addition of sulfites, which prevent the risks of mead modification in bottles. 

 

Organic product certification.“Hydromels du Sud”possesses the SGS certification. With this label, all our processes can be adapted to the production of organic meads..

 

Choice of bottles and customized tags.

 

Help in your administrative paperwork. This includes the declaration to customs and an appropriate tagging of your products according to the current laws.

We provide full transparency on our whole processing of honey into mead. This makes us able to warranty the conservation of the organic label (AB) of your honey on your mead. For the sustainable development of meads, we prefer physical to chemical techniques of processing, respecting the honeys and their lands of collection.
