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.

Tap. Ruby color with no head. Aroma is red grapes, honey, not so much barrel yet here. Taste is big vermouth, more than expected, and the usual pyment stuff in there too. Oily mouthfeel, easy drinking in terms of body, but the vermouth flavours really are a lot!
