Plum melomel

This Honey Wine is made with farm-fresh plums for a complex and age-worthy wine. Robust and herbal, this wine is great with cheese dishes or as a fabulous pairing with ribs hot off the BBQ!

Nice sweet plum on the nose, good clear body. Flavour is a nice mix of plum with soft honey and wine hints. Decent, subtle.

Bottle from the winery, synthetic cork
Watery look. I can smell some honey. Bland flavour, soft mouthfeel, mostly boring.

Light flowers and honey. Pale almost clear. Very light, touch of acetone and almost nothing. So bland and a waste.

Very light, with just a hint of the plum accent. The aroma mixes up floral honey and light plum. Sort of a dryish note, with a touch of honey, touch of fruit, but not enough of either.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale blonde, no head. Nose brings out subtle honey, with light, cheap white wine. Flavour is underwhelming, with light white wine, gentle acidity, and barely a trace of honey. Another useless watered down mead. Forgettable.
