Reddish amber color. Aromas and flavors of strawberry rhubarb compote, rose hip jam, ripe watermelon, and sangria with a satiny, crisp, off-dry light-to-medium body and a medium finish with accents of blackberry and hints of banana finish. A fruity, juicy Mead that brings loads of fun.

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.
