Our Wines
Traditional Mead - AVAILABLE AUGUST 2010
This golden wine accents the floral aromas of Vermont wildflower honey. It is crisp, light and refreshing with 12.4% alcohol and 5% residual sugar. Hints of flowers infuse the air while your palate may detect pear, citrus and figs. Our Traditional Mead is a great still wine that can be served as an aperitif or that pairs well with light summer fare, spicy sweet and sour dishes or a fabulous cheese plate. This is nature's bounty captured in a bottle!
Spiced Mead - AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 2010
We start with nature’s pure, sweet honey and combine it with vanilla, cloves, bitter orange peel and nutmeg to bring you a medium sweet wine that will warm you on cool fall evenings. With notes of licorice and pepper, this spiced mead lifts your spirits with 12.5% alcohol by volume. Imagine the setting sun, breathing crisp air and feeling the warmth from within of our Spiced Mead.
Blueberry Mead - AVAILABLE SEPTEMBER 2010
Blueberries contribute an amazing amount of character and depth to mead. The soft tannins and high acidity add a complexity that will enchant your taste buds. Our still Blueberry Mead is made from Vermont grown blueberries and is drier that our Traditional Mead. Pairs well with white meat, grilled summer vegetables or a fresh spinach salad.
Sparkling Mead
Our Sparkling Mead is a refreshing alternative to heavy wines and hoppy beers. We ferment to 7% alcohol by volume and bottle condition to achieve light carbonation. This easy drinking mead is served chilled. As bubbles dance on your tongue, think about a picnic of cheese and fresh fruit on a blanket next to the water.
Estate Dessert Mead
From our hives to your glass, our Estate Dessert Mead captures the unique terroir of the Green Mountains. The honey is gathered from a single apiary nestled among maple and pine and is lovingly transformed from comb to bottle in exclusive, small-run lots. The full flavor and sweetness of the hive is balanced by 16% alcohol by volume. Pair with crème Brûlée or rich chocolate desserts.
Seasonal Fruit Meads
The climate of Vermont is ideal for producing an abundance of fruit. Depending on the time of year, our orchards may be producing cherry, plum, pear, apricot or apple while our fields may offer blueberries, raspberries or blackberries. When picked at their apex of ripeness, these fruits transform mead to a truly unique wine that captures the very essence of the season.
