Flavour Profile
This mead leans into the herbaceous, citric character that Chenin Blanc grapes are known for, layered over the floral sweetness of multifloral honey. Spicing with cinnamon, lemon, and bay leaf adds warmth without overpowering the grape and honey base, giving the mead a structure that will feel familiar to anyone who drinks white wine regularly.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Herbaceous grape, citrus, warm spice.
- Palate: Citric acidity balanced by honey sweetness, gentle cinnamon and bay leaf undertones.
- Finish: Crisp, spiced, medium length.
How to Drink It
Serve chilled between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius in a standard white wine glass. Its wine-adjacent structure makes it a natural substitute in any setting where you would normally reach for a bottle of white wine.
Food Pairing
Cerana recommends pairing it with creamy, sauce-based dishes, where the acidity of the Chenin Blanc cuts through richness in a similar way to how a dry white wine would. It also complements mildly spiced Indian curries built on cream or cashew bases.
Who Should Try This
Ideal for wine drinkers curious about mead but hesitant to move away from a familiar grape-driven profile. Its citric, herbaceous character offers a genuine bridge between the two categories rather than asking the drinker to start from zero.
