Hypocras, the medieval wine with honey and spices

We offer two handcrafted hypocras (also spelled hippocras), made to medieval recipes: one based on red wine, the other on white wine, formerly known as Clairet. Made with wine, honey and spices, they are smooth, sweet and spicy all at once.

Red or white hypocras?

• Red hypocras is 12% vol.: the fuller-bodied of the two.
• White hypocras is 11% vol.: smoother and slightly spicier.

As an aperitif or with dessert

Served well chilled, our hypocras are enjoyed as an aperitif or with desserts, cakes and fruit. The combination of spices and the sweetness of honey offers a truly unusual tasting experience. For pairing ideas, read What to serve with hypocras.
