Fresh off a victory at the Mazer Cup! I felt like this mead was vastly under appreciated when it was released. It felt really good to see the Judges respond well to it in the biggest competition in the world. Incidentally; it dropped with Mimir which also medaled at the competition.
This mead is a case study in Stone Fruits. That is a broad family of fruits with a stone or a pit inside.
For this medley we used some banging organic honey by way of Brazil. We’ve added red plums from Chile, apricots from Turkey, yellow peaches from Georgia, dark sweet cherries from Michigan and tart cherries from Wisconsin.
We fermented this one with a blend of yeasts used for high intensity Shiraz and Pinotage. Then gently aged it on a bit of oak.
Lovely burnt auburn red color with optically perfect clarity. It has great legs and moves beautifully in the glass. On the nose I get thr essence of fresh Peaches. Likely from the Brandy barrel. I also get loads apricots and cherries. I even get some peach skins.
On the palate I get bright peaches, cherries, plum, raspberries and some florals. Some woody character similar to what I’d expect from a bourbon barrel; but, it’s all peach brandy after that. Some micro-oxidation has eased that sharpness and acidity in the non-BA version. I really like this mead. I think you will too
International Award winning Meadery. Serving old world tradition mixed with South Florida style.
