Sparrow & Vine is a Sydney-based producer of wine, cider, and mead, founded by Brendan Hilferty — a drinks industry professional with three decades of experience, including six years working in Europe. The Project B mead range is produced by Brendan Hilferty in Newtown, New South Wales, using raw honey sourced from the Newtown area of Sydney. Project B is a low-intervention mead made with minimal additions — water, honey, and wild yeast — in the tradition of natural winemaking applied to mead production. The 'N006' batch designation reflects the sequential numbering of individual production batches, each showing slightly different characteristics depending on the honey source.

Sparrow & Vine Project B Mead is a bone-dry sparkling mead made from raw honey diluted with pure water and naturally fermented using wild ambient yeasts without additions of commercial yeast, enzymes, or fining agents. The naturally fermented mead is then bottle conditioned — sealed with residual sugar remaining in the liquid, which converts to carbon dioxide during secondary fermentation in bottle — producing fine, natural effervescence without force carbonation. This low-intervention approach closely mirrors natural wine production and produces a mead of delicate honey, beeswax, floral, and citrus character on the nose, with an intense, long palate of honey, waxy notes, fine bead, and crunchy fennel and spice. Bottled at 12.2% ABV.
