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.

375mL bottle, pours a beautiful deep dark mahogany. Aroma is remarkably complex, with an intense raspberry and blackberry character, and viscous syrupy honey. Flavour is ridiculously complex and intense, with an absolutely sublime berry character that melds perfectly with the honey. Sweet but not cloying as usual, with a remarkable depth. Beauty.

B2. Schramm's tasting #1. Deep purple with lacing. Quite raw, not much sweetness. Loads of dill, astringent lingonberry/cranberry. Unfortunately did not age well.
