A sweet desert wine. Lavender, cherry, cranberry, and blueberry present on the nose. Acidity is notable on the nose, along with floral sweetness from the honey. Warming spices on the palate, reminiscent of mulled wine. Not cloying, but a good balance between the acidity of the fruit and the sweetness of the honey. Dark fruit are present throughout the palate. Some bitter tannin notes as well, but they are balanced by the sweetness. Aftertaste is mild, slightly tart with honey notable.

Notes

The wildflower honey was fermented with spring water and after two months the aronia berries and lavender were added and the mead continued to ferment for two additional months. The mixture was racked off the fruit, back sweetened with honey, and bottled
