This earthy, brightly acidic mead balances the lingering tartness of whole blackberries and carefully selected honey. Intensely fruity with balanced acidity, a complex flavor profile and an earthy aroma, this mead is reminiscent of picking fruit on a mid-summer day. A strong option for the cellar, blackberry will continue to mature and develop in the bottle for years. Blackberry pairs well with creamy cheeses, duck, and veal.

Bottle split at Watford Tasting, thanks to the Wingmane, 11/03/22. Rich claret pour with a faded crimson cap. Nose is sweet blackberry puree, honey drizzle, sugars, soft berry fruits. Taste comprises blackberry compote, lockets, honey melt, sugars. Full bodied, oily mouthfeel, semi drying close with a rising kiss of alcohol but well tempered for 14% boost. Solid.
