Standard Meadery Departure Batch 2
Mead 14 º
This luxurious Other Fruit Melomel showcases an intricate tapestry of dark fruit and floral elegance. The foundation of Orange Blossom honey imparts a delicate citrus-blossom perfume that pierces through a dense, jammy core of Blackberry. Sharper, vibrant notes of Red Currant and tart Honeyberry provide a necessary acidic counterpoint, preventing the significant residual sweetness from becoming cloying. The high alcohol content is seamlessly integrated, offering a sophisticated warmth. Finishing on Burgundy French Oak introduces a structural dimension, contributing soft vanillins and refined tannins that evoke the character of a fine red wine while grounding the intense berry melange.
Appearance. Deep, saturated ruby with brilliant purple highlights; excellent clarity. No head or carbonation. Heavy, viscous legs (tears) are prominent on the glass wall.
Aroma. High intensity of tart red berries and jammy dark fruit. The Orange Blossom honey provides a clear floral, citrus-like aromatic top note. Clean fermentation with a gentle, warming alcohol presence. Subtle toasted oak, light spice, and a vinous quality from the Burgundy oak influence.
Taste. A bold initial impression of tart Red Currant and Honeyberry acidity, quickly followed by the rich, sweet depth of Blackberry. The floral character of the Orange Blossom honey lingers in the mid-palate. Balanced by a firm acidic structure and wood tannins from the French Oak. The finish is long and lingering, showing a sophisticated interplay of fruit sugar, oak, and warming alcohol.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a lush, velvety texture. Carbonation is still. Notable, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Moderate tannin presence provides a structural grip and a clean, dry-leaning finish despite the sweetness.
