The marriage of fruit and flower continues: A generous portion of Marion blackberries from Oregon infused into blackberry blossom honey through the magic of fermentation and aging, producing a perfect balance so as not to trample the delicate mead character. Pairs with beef, fish, pork, lamb, red-sauced pasta, cheese, and wild game. Mead is honey wine, the most ancient of drynks, common to all cultures of the Old World. Mead was drunk for good health and longevity, strength, vitality and fertility. MeadMaster Pete Wylde makes Mead as the ancients did, unfiltered and with real fruit. Bees make honey the same since the dawn of time. What you hold in your hands is your connection to our ancient forebears. The tradition of giving a nuptial couple a lunar-month’s supply of Mead to ensure a “fruitful” union came to be known as the “Honeymoon”.
