The World’s First Dry, Tannin-Free Barrel-Fermented Honey Wine: A Masterpiece of Rarity and Craft (Mead)

Overview

Prepare yourself for a honey wine experience unlike any other. We proudly present the world’s first and only dry, tannin-free barrel-fermented honey wine – a testament to innovation and a celebration of flavor. The fact that this is a dry, tannin-free honey wine, in and of itself is rare. Barrel fermenting this honey wine is the only way to elevate it to its fullest potential, creating a masterpiece of rarity and flavor. This is truly premium mead.

The Art of Barrel Fermentation (and Dryness and No Tannins!): Our unique approach starts with carefully selected honey and a meticulous fermentation process designed to achieve a perfectly dry and tannin-free profile. As the yeast works its magic within the oak barrels, it delicately absorbs the wood’s signature characteristics, all while maintaining a crisp, dry finish, free from any bitter tannins. The result is a honey wine infused with the warm, inviting notes of oak and the creamy sweetness of vanilla, without any cloying sweetness or harsh tannins.

Micro-Oxygenation at Its Finest: We meticulously control the fermentation environment, maintaining a cool temperature of 55°F while allowing for gentle micro-oxygenation. This precise process enhances the honey wine’s complexity, creating a depth of flavor that is truly extraordinary and balanced.

A Symphony of Flavors (Without the Sugar Overload or Tannic Bitterness): Barrel fermentation, combined with subsequent barrel aging, creates a harmonious blend of aromas, tastes, and textures that will captivate your senses. This dry profile adds another layer of sophistication to this rare craft.

Elevate Your Honey Wine Experience with the Rarest of the Rare (Mead): Our dry, tannin-free barrel-fermented honey wine is a true masterpiece, perfect for those seeking a unique and unforgettable tasting experience. It is a testament to the craft and the quality of what a barrel and dryness can produce, all without the harshness of tannins.
