Amelia is our loganberry mead, and our newest addition to the Schramm family roster. In the early 1880’s Santa Cruz fruit breeder James Harvey Logan interbred Aughinbaugh blackberries with Red Antwerp raspberries, and the loganberry was born. Over a century later, in 2016, so was Amelia Schramm Naeger. Deep red in color, this melomel lets the bright tartness and natural acidity of the berries shine through, expertly balanced by Orange Blossom honey sweetness. Like this mead’s namesake, Amelia is expected to develop and mature for many years.

Bottle shared at TST/TWAT. Dark red purple with no head. Aroma of raspberry upfront with blackberry and floral honey behind but very present. Flavour is heavy sweet with a little tart sourness from the fruit. Full bodied with no carbonation.

batch 1 bottle courtesy of Carl. Beautiful deep ruby pour leaving plenty of legs on the glass with a swirl. Fresh raspberry, fleshy sunripe blackberry, floral pale caramel honey, minerals & leather nose. Sweet, sour & heavy fruity taste. Round, tart & slightly oily mouthfeel. Intense berry finish. Simple & plain delicious.Batch 1 bottle courtesy of Linus. Still delicious but it’s more apparent that it’s drier than many other Schramm’s offerings. Heavy vinous & tannic. Lovely & quite unique.
