Bright gold color. Earthy aromas of dried apple and pear, tomato leaf, and spiced orange tea with a velvety, vibrant, fruity medium body and a smooth, distinctive, medium-length pineapple glaze, sour peach candies, and frosted flakes finish. A distinctive sweet-but-savory mead that will pair well with cheeses.

About
Melomel
Melomel is a traditional mead to which fruit has been added. The fruit character is the driver here, and whether dry or sweet should be very evident. Key here is a natural, ‘off-the-vine’ evocation rather than any suggestion of artificial flavorings.
