Sandviken Select (2024)

Описание

Spontaneously fermented cherry mead.Made with cherry blossom honey and hand-selected Fanal and Stevnsbær cherries - all from the same orchard. Only the ripest, best-tasting cherries were chosen for this mead... one by one, by hand.This is one of the most meticulous and special creations to come out of Marlobobo so far. Here's why:- The cherry blossom honey was harvested from the very trees that bore the cherries used in this mead - a true single-orchard mead.- Each cherry was individually hand-picked for flavor and ripeness. (It takes one person an hour to sort through just 5 kg. We used 341 kg.)- The mead was spontaneously fermented slowly for four months, and only free-run juice was collected - no pressing. This gives a very low yield, but the highest possible quality.We named it Sandviken Select in honor of a remarkable person, a dear friend, and our favorite beekeeper, Geir Juliussen, who passed away far too soon.------------------------------ 2024 ------------------------------Honey variety:Cherry blossom honey from Geir Juliussen (Sandviken Honning)Cherry variety:Fanal and Stevnsbær from the same orchard in Svelvik*The vintage year refers to the harvest year of the ingredients*
