Raspberry Mead
Crafted from wildflower honey and locally-grown red raspberries, this classic varietal tastes like summer, and is typically quite dry, with notes of red berry and fruit.
$32/bottle, $8/glass.
Blackcurrant Mead
Typically our driest varietal, this deep red wine is vented with wildflower honey and locally-farmed Swedish blackcurrants; it offers a lively mouth feel and wonderful earthy notes of cassis and pomegranate. “A party in a glass” is how one customer described it.
$32/bottle, $8/glass.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Mead
Imbued with the unique fragrance of the Sitka strawberry, a pale pink semi-domesticated Alaskan variety of strawberry that is grown in many local gardens, this pale rose-colored wine is often compared to rose wines from the Provence region of France. Perfect for sipping on a sunny afternoon on our patio – or yours.
$32/bottle, $8/glass.
Sweetgale-Rhubarb Mead
Myrica gale, commonly known as bog myrtle or sweetgale, is a deciduous shrub with aromatic leaves and fruits that grows in and around local muskeg bogs. A traditional bittering agent used in brewing before hops became prevalent, the sweetgale plant produces small nutlets in the fall that give this mead its fragrant, subtly bitter notes of juniper and black pepper.
$32/bottle, $8/glass.
Highbush Cranberry Mead
Despite its common name, the highbush cranberry, Viburnum edulae, grows on a chest-high shrub that is not related to common, or lowbush cranberries, which are in the genus Vaccinium. The nose of this varietal is complex, with herbal, floral and fruit notes. Pairs well with wild game.
$32/bottle, $8/glass.
Wildflower Honey Mead
A classic “straight” mead, this varietal contains nothing but local wildflower honey and pure Alaskan water. The yeasts that ferment the honey into a delectable semi-sweet wine are varieties that occur naturally here in Alaska.
$32/bottle, $8/glass.
Alpine Blueberry Mead
This award-winning varietal combines the stronger flavor notes of wildflower honey with the intense fruitiness of wild Alaskan blueberries, renowned for their high level of anthocyanins and polyphenols. The result is a wine that is typically almost black in color and velvety in texture.
$40/bottle, $10/glass.
Nagoonberry Mead
The nagoonberry, Rubus arcticus, a dwarf arctic bramble that is related to blackberry and raspberry, is the rarest and most aromatic of our local berries. It is also found in Scandinavia, where it is known as Åkerbär (Sweden) or Mesimarja (Finland). The delicate flavor notes of fireweed honey allow the fruit to shine through; this semi-sweet mead offers a rich mouthfeel and notes of strawberry, passionfruit and guava.
$40/bottle, $10/glass.
