Tomato bisque color. Aromas and flavors of sun tan lotion and vinyl, grape must, green tea with flowers, and blue cheese with a medium body and a medium finish with notes of geranium tea, raisin, cedar plant, dried rose, and red wine vinegar. An interesting Pyment that might challenge your conceptions of what wine or mead should be.

Pyment

Pyment is a particular sub-category of melomels, where the fruit in question is specifically: Grapes. It is important to note that the grape juice should be fermented with the honey, rather than blended in afterwards. ‘Mulsum’ is a historic variety of pyment that generally refers to the post-fermentation blend of wine and honey (and sometimes water or sea-water). Both red and white grapes may be used; ones made with white grapes are sometimes called "white mead." The best have enticing aromas of honey, custard and tropical fruits and are made in a dessert style.
