The raspberries for Bargetto's Mead are from Sweet Briar berry growers in the Watsonville area. The honey used to make the mead is a blend of alfalfa, orange blossom and toyon bought from bee keepers in Northern California.
Winemaker Notes:
This is a new wine for Chaucer's Cellars. It is a blend of our Chaucer's Mead and a small portion of our Raspberry Wine. A blend of fruit such as raspberry is known as Melomel. This blend of fruit and honey has been enjoyed for centuries. Less sweet than our regular mead, this wine finishes with a lingering crisp raspberry and honeysuckle impression.
