CHAUCER'S MEAD SPARKLING 250ML

Tasting Notes

The honey for this specialty sparkling honey wine is produced in hives throughout California’s Central Valley and Sierra Mountains. Our Chaucer’s Sparkling Mead is composed of a blend of many types of honey: alfalfa, orange blossom, wildflower and sage. Each type brings a unique quality to the blend and contributes to the overall complexity of the Mead. Alfalfa is neutral in flavor but yields a dark, amber color. The orange blossom brings a floral bouquet to the nose of the wine. Wildflower and Sage are lighter in color and flavor but taste fresh with hints of spice. 

This specialty mead offers aromas of fresh California honey, as well as hints of orange and ginger.  On the palate, the sweet honey is present, but not overpowering.  This mead is very light in body, with small Champagne-like bubbles filling the mouth.  The finish is crisp, clean, and refreshing, with lingering hints of Valencia orange.  This product should be consumed shortly after purchasing, to get the freshest experience possible.
