Partially cryo-concentrated cherry mead with Stevns cherries from the renowned Frederiksdal Estate in Denmark and our favourite cherry orchard in Norway.

Paired with dark forest honey (honeydew) and wildflower honey from our beekeepers in Norway.

Dreamt up with the Mikkeller team! How could we not use Frederiksdal cherries when doing a fruit-forward collaboration with them. A long time ago I was introduced to the unique cherry variety "Stevns" after trying the legendary SpontanCherry Frederiksdal from Mikkeller. That further got me into Frederiksdal's extraordinary wines, and guess my surprise when I found out I could get the same variety in my neighbouring town.

Over ten years later I received 500 kg of frozen cherries from Frederiksdal, and it feels like coming full circle doing a mead with both cherries together!

A two-week long maceration gave loads of soft, supple tannins and color, and only free-run juice was collected. As a cherry on top, the Norwegian cherry part was cryo-concentrated.

It's a cherry bomb without a doubt. But the forest honey shines through beautifully and puts its marks on the mead with sweet notes of dark caramel and chocolate. While still retaining a lot of acidity!
