Blackberry melomel

Vine ripened blackberries grace this off-dry, voluptuous melomel evoking sun-kissed late summer evenings. Floral and fruity with balanced acidity and a lingering finish. Named after the Goddess of love, we are sure you will fall in love with this beauty!

Bottle sampled at the meadery, pours a clear pink. Aroma brings out tart blackberry skins, with a touch of pith and light sweetness. Flavour is light-to-medium sweet, with lightly tart blackberries and a touch of wildflower. Nicely balanced, with a light palate. Good stuff.

Synthetic cork bottle at the winery, bottled 2017
Bright pinkish color. Delicate but evident aroma of blackberries, light alcohol, very light Merlot. Light noticeable sweetness in the front; delicate blackberry elements, very light fruit acidity creates the balance, the alcohol is a bit too noticeable, the finish is drier and lightly astringent.
Elegant and pleasant.
