Wild Roses * Blackberry Nectar * Buttery Fudge

First, magical warmth. Then blackberry blossom sweetness. Then roses.

Every now and then, nature creates something truly unforgettable. Harvested from the wild blackberry, kānuka and Mānuka growing throughout the remote alpine landscapes surrounding Mt Lyford, this remarkable honey is one of our most treasured seasonal harvests.

A Bronze Medal recipient in the APINZ Honey Awards (Special Reserve Category) in 2022 and the NZ Artisan Awards in 2026, it is elegant, beautifully layered and unlike traditional Mānuka honey.

The flavour journey begins with warm, buttery fudge, followed by the delicate floral sweetness of blackberry blossom, before the subtle fragrance of wild rose petals emerges to create a lingering floral finish.

Its rich floral bouquet and captivating complexity have made it a favourite at tastings and one of the most sought-after honeys in our collection.

Cold-extracted, never blended and harvested in small seasonal batches, every jar captures the distinctive character of New Zealand's wild alpine landscape.

Elegant. Unforgettable. Uniquely Mt Lyford.
