Vineyard

Our Raspberry Mead 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, refreshing raspberry and honeysuckle impression.

Vinification

Mead is an old English word for honey wine. It dates back 8,000 years. The Chaucer’s Mead story began in 1970 when winery owner, Lawrence Bargetto, produced his first mead. This melomel style raspberry mead is made from co-fermented pure honey and raspberries. Our raspberry mead still reflects the same quality standards as the original batch many decades ago. In the spirit of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, we hope that you will be inspired by this raspberry mead as the pilgrims would have been while passing by a medieval castle on their way to the Canterbury Cathedral.
