Description

The Elderberry Mead is a sweet mead with a gentle earthiness from the elderberries. The elderberry concentrate, added post-ferment, gives the mead a deeper body with its fruity flavours and tannins, resulting in an interesting combination of sweet smoothness and a slight “dry” mouthfeel without the usual sharpness of wine. While this mead may work well with both sweet and savoury foods, we feel the dry notes would work best with the latter, especially cheeses.

The meads from the Lancashire Mead Company are probably best described as classic meads, with sweet and straightforward flavour profiles. They also tend to have a slight winelike “funk” that no doubt stems from close proximity to more experimental wild fermentations. While usually not strongly aromatic, they sit very pleasantly on the tongue and have both a mellowness and depth that make them extremely moreish. As such they are best enjoyed alongside cheeses or desserts that can serve as a contrast or a compliment to the sweetness of the mead, while also helping to prevent an entire bottle from “accidentally” vanishing.
