Apis Bernardynski Honey Mead (75cl, 13%)

A Polish trójniak-style mead made from nectar honey, aronia juice and spices, matured for two years. Following the trójniak classification, one part honey is diluted with two parts water before fermentation, with 420 grams of natural nectar honey per litre. The honey must is boiled before fermentation, then aronia juice and a spice blend integrate during maturation. The aroma brings warm caramelised honey, dark berry fruit from the aronia and gentle spice. The palate is moderately sweet, moving from honey to tart chokeberry and gentle tannin, with baking spices and a vinous quality, finishing with lingering tannins and a faintly acidic close.
