Description Fans of the Harvest Gold, or even non-mead drinkers, might want to check out this little beauty … same sugar code level as the Gold (2), but this one adds a beautiful layer of fruitiness to both the nose and palate. Made with honey wine (mead) and sour cherries that’s exactly what you get. The nose displays the same bubblegum-like aromas as the Harvest Gold, but adds a layer of cherry. Here the bubblegum disappears from the flavour profile (and so do the tropical nuances) giving full weight to the cherry sweetness as it courses through the mouth on it’s way to a very pleasing, dry with a touch of what seems like tannins, on the finish. I’m told, from a long time mead maker in Ontario, that mead needs time to develop and integrate – this one’s great right now, but by laying this one down for 5+ years you might find it develops more depth and character – give it a try. Price: $18.00
