Fresh Pineapple Mead

Cheese Chicken

Category: Melomel

Date Tasted:
Country: Brazil
Alcohol: 14% RS: 4.9%
Bright gold color. Aromas and flavors of mosel riesling, candied pineapple, pineapple gummi bears, and meyer lemon with a round, vibrant, effervescent, fruity medium-to-full body and a complex, medium-long finish revealing accents of pineapple upside down cake, white flowers, vanilla custard, and waffle cone. Sweet flower honey and loads of pineapple and evocative of its fruit addition without losing sight of the honey foundation; consume with Thai food or all of the German pork dishes.

About
Melomel
Melomel is a traditional mead to which fruit has been added. The fruit character is the driver here, and whether dry or sweet should be very evident. Key here is a natural, ‘off-the-vine’ evocation rather than any suggestion of artificial flavorings.
