Our newest Contingency Series release is Cheminée, a Pyment made with California Merlot grapes and AZ wildflower honey, aged in Black Berry White barrels for 11 months.

This delightfully complex mead starts off mildly dry with noticeable merlot character which gracefully bows out to allow wildflower honey sweetness and notes of Blackberry, Vanilla and Tart Cherries to shine through. Cheminée translates to “fireplace” in French, and just like the calming glow of a hearth on a cool fall evening, you will find the soul of this mead equally warm and welcoming.
