Heritage Winery Saba T'ej Mead Ethiopian Honey Wine 750ml

USA

ORGANIC : Orange Blossom Honey

SEMI-SWEET, ORANGE BLOSSOM, CITRUS, ORANGE ZEST, VELVETY

T'ej is Ethiopia's honey wine, and Saba is The Heritage Winery's take on it — named for the Queen of Sheba, fermented from organic orange blossom honey and finished semi-sweet, with no sulfites or additives. The producer's notes run floral and citrus on the nose, velvety on the palate, with a streak of orange zest through the finish.

This is a diaspora family winery: owner Kirubell Araya took over t'ej-making from his father, Araya Yibrehu, who opened one of the first Ethiopian restaurants in the US in 1978. Saba took Silver in the Historical Mead category at the 2024 Mazer Cup, Gold at Copa Hidromiel 2024 and Bronze at the 2025 Valkyries Horn competition. Pour it chilled.
