Sparkling Mead 2017

Описание

Harvested by bees located on our farm, the raw, whole honey - the starting ingredient for this product - is emphatically and specifically from whatever was flowering on our farm in November & December 2016!We simply dissolved this honey in water from the River Derwent, which cascades around our farm, in rapids, on three sides.A spontaneous wild ferment was allowed to commence & run it's complex, ever-varied course for 3 long years, then, by a simple addition of honey, the bottle conditioning (i.e. the sparkling bubbles!) also results from completely spontaneous fermentation. Me, the brewer, did very little in fact. Mostly I simply stood by and watched in awe!You can't possibly get more "made by nature"!Bless the bees!That's terroir!Exuberantly sparkling, bone-crunchingly dry but overflowing with ebullient aromatics of wildflowers, pollen, hay, (... earth, wind, fire, the whole fucking lot!) this beverage expresses itself absolutely and utterly as a statement of a very specific time in a very specific place.
