Harvest Melomel
Our seasonal mead. This off dry mead is made with 100% Vancouver Island Honey and a blend of berries from our farm. Clean and crisp with a distinct fruity palate, it finishes with a soft whisper of honey. Melomel was the mainstay of ancient agricultural communities, their festivals, and traditions long before the cultivation of grapes and barley. Lighter alcohol and acidity and slight effervescence are a historical part of this style of mead. Enjoy this mead with our famous wild BC salmon, cream pastas, fowl, or your favourite cheeses. Serve at cellar temperature.

This is serious Cyser , we cannot be held responsible for any sins resulting from the consumption of this product. Pairings- chicken saute, BBQ, ripened cheeses.

This mead is closer in style to the traditional meads that some people have experienced in Europe. It is an exciting new alternative to dessert wines and with a blush of berries it is like summer in a glass. Sweet floral honey notes blend with a hint of berry and lead into a long finish that is well appreciated alone or with your favorite dessert. This mead cellars well for up to 10 years.
