It’s a landscape of mountain terrain, ancient volcanic soils and long, cold winters. The bees spend the cooler months waiting it out, and when summer finally arrives the ranges come alive. Tall messmate forests burst into flower, and conditions become some of the best for beekeeping anywhere in Victoria. The result is a deep, characterful honey that tastes of the high country it comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"5\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a honey for people who like real depth of flavour. Macedon Ranges is dark and rich, with a gentle smokiness that builds into a long, lingering finish. Underneath sit warm undertones of roasted hazelnut, earthy and slightly nutty.
