This traditional Asturian mead draws from Nordic heritage to deliver a robust sensory experience. The double fermentation process yields a distinctive, powerful honey character that dominates the profile. Aromas are defined by rich, floral wildflower honey and delicate pome fruit esters. On the palate, it strikes a balance between natural honey sweetness and a clean, slightly acidic finish, showcasing a medium body that feels substantial despite its approachable strength. The artisanal craftsmanship is evident in its clarity and integrated alcohol, making this Semi-Sweet Mead a versatile choice for traditional cup service or as a concentrated digestif.
