Every great production of great mead needs a star, a supporting cast, and a creative team behind the scenes. Our Blackberry Mead is no different — and if you know our melomels, you know exactly which gets top billing.
Iowa Honey Takes the Lead
The heart of our mead is the honey, and ours is local, raw and unpasteurized, and full of the complex floral character that only real, unprocessed honey can deliver. We source it close to home, where the bees know the land and the nectar shows it. This honey isn't a background note. It's the melody everything else is written around.
Blackberries: Best Supporting Actor
The blackberries don't try to steal the show — they don't need to. Blended in at just the right moment, they add depth, a touch of tartness, and that gorgeous deep color that makes this melomel as beautiful to look at as it is to drink. They complement the honey without competing with it. That's the mark of a great supporting role.
The Winemakers: Writers, Producers, Directors
Behind every 5-star performance is a team that obsesses over every detail. Our winemakers write the script — deciding the ratios, the timing, the yeast. They produce it — sourcing the best local honey, selecting the fruit, managing fermentation with patience and precision. And they direct every step — crafting, tasting, adjusting, and refusing to bottle anything that doesn't meet the standard our customers have come to expect.
The Result
A melomel that earned 5 stars from the people who matter most: you. Honey-forward, blackberry-kissed, and crafted with intention from the first pour of must to the final cork.
