Light salmon orange color. Aromas and flavors of strawberry, raspberry and tart red cherry, plum and orange duck sauce, and peanut shells and rosemary with a silky, lively, dry medium body and a charming, medium-length finish manifesting notes of strawberry orange juice, red plum, tart cherry, and dried white flowers. Racy and confident yet deft on the fundamentals; good enough to sip alone and bold enough to pair with barbecued meats or foie gras.

About
Metheglin
Metheglin is a traditional mead to which a mixture of spices and/or spices have been added. It is interesting to note that the word ‘medicine’ is derived from the word ‘metheglin’. While the honey character in both aroma & palate can be variable, the primary emphasis in this style is how well the spices and/or herbs are integrated into the beverage – they should not overwhelm the honey characteristics, but should be featured. A synergy of the individual ingredients is ideal.
