Description

The Mountain Mead meadery (Medd Mynydd in Welsh) selects honeys and ingredients that add something to the flavour without overcomplicating things, producing some amazingly delicate meads. While the sweetness can vary from “dessert wine” up to and including “dry white”, all are light and smooth. Carefully balanced, these meads provide just the right blend of sweetness, aroma and acidity to be served as a light wine.

The Blackcurrant and Apple mead is a sweet melomel (or fruit mead) made by fermenting the honey with blackcurrant and apple juices. As you might expect, this is a very fruity mead with a strong blackcurrant aroma backed up by a full and slightly tart apple sweetness. This one goes down very easily and serves equally well alongside rich deserts as it does as a chilled summer drink.
