Two Metre Tall Sparkling Mead 2019
Mead 7.5 º
This sparkling mead presents a vibrant, wild-fermented character born from two years of barrel maturation. It leads with an intense, floral bouquet derived from estate-harvested whole hive honey, intertwined with a sharp, farmhouse funk. The palate is defined by a bracing acidity, where the clean tartness of lactic acid meets a sophisticated, vinegary lift of acetic acid. Bone-dry and effervescent, it offers nuanced layers of aged oak and earthy honey solids without any residual sweetness. The finish is remarkably crisp and long, echoing the complex microflora and diverse species of lactic acid bacteria from the farm's environment. This Experimental Mead captures a rare, tart honey profile.
Appearance. Pale straw (SRM 2-3). Brilliant clarity with vigorous, sparkling effervescence. Forms a brief, white, fizzy head that dissipates rapidly with minimal lacing.
Aroma. High intensity. Prominent wildflower honey and waxy notes. Distinctive wild fermentation profile featuring lactic tartness, lemon zest, and a subtle, sharp acetic prickle. Nuanced earthy funk and a hint of weathered oak.
Taste. Sharp initial impression of lactic acidity. Deeply floral honey flavor without sweetness. Minimal honey character remains beyond floral aromatics. No hop bitterness. Balanced by a complex, cider-like acetic character and light oak tannins. Finish is bone-dry and very clean.
Mouthfeel. Light body. High carbonation providing a prickly, champagne-like texture. Minimal alcohol warmth. Slight tannic astringency from barrel aging and whole hive honey solids.
