Chaucer’s Mead • 750ml Bottle

Chaucer’s mead uses 100% pure honey for this specialty dessert-style wine produced in hives throughout northern california and is composed of a blend of three types; orange alfalfa and sage. Each of these components brings a unique quality to the blend and contributes to the overall complexity of the wine. Orange adds a pungent orange blossom flavor and has a light color. Alfalfa is neutral in flavor but yields a dark amber color. Sage on the other hand has a mild taste and a light color. 11% abv chaucer’s mead is produced utilizing fresh honey without the addition of artificial flavorings concentrates or artificial colorings. Even though greater production difficulties ensue because pure raw honey is used for fermentation the intensity of flavor generated through this technique is worth the effort. Although this wine exhibits a richness similar to a fine liqueur this dessert-style beverage is not fortified and contains only 11% alcohol. Hence this wine should be consumed
