California Orange Blossom

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:36:15 -0500

When we set out to produce a sparkling Orange Blossom mead it was with the intention of capturing as much of the orange blossom essence -- that rich, almost tropical, floral aroma that one experiences when driving by an orange grove during spring bloom -- as humanly possible. We're ecstatic about the results. The varietal is effortless to enjoy yet offers plenty of complex floral orange depth to contemplate. White straw in color, bright, dry and clean.

Food Pairing Serve with any dish that accommodates a refreshing chilled wine with floral/citrus notes, from the traditional Sunday brunch to spicy Thai and Indian cuisine.

Bourbon Barrel Mead

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:41:00 -0500

This very limited batch shows just how complex a mead can be. This mead is made with a blend of orange blossom and buckwheat honey, then is aged in a bourbon barrel. This process mellows the mead and adds a noticeable bourbon flavor for a wonderful sipping mead. This mead ages well.
