We started with a blend of 2020’s fine California Cabernet and Syrah grapes fermented with AZ wildflower honey to produce our classic pyment known as Aphrodisia, and then barrel aged a small portion in two fresh Vermouth barrels to craft a novel mead to please your palate. Reminiscent of a fine Amarone or Sweet Red Vermouth of years gone by, you have never had anything like this.

375mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany, almost no head. Aroma is loaded with intense orange bitters, plenty of honey nectar, some alcohol, and a touch of grape must. Flavour is full of dark red grape must, orange bitters, honey nectar, and alcohol. Rich, semi-syrupy, with light grape and vermouth notes on the finish. Tasty.
