Indulge in the Deep Flavors of Our Blackberry Mead
There is something inherently mystical about the combination of wild berries and honey. At Philadelphia Mead Co., we have captured that magic in our latest release: Blackberry Mead. Often referred to as a "Melomel," this fruit-infused honey wine is a tribute to the late summer harvest, offering a robust, full-bodied experience that stands up to even the heaviest of red wines.
Since we are a digital-first meadery, we focus on small-batch quality and direct-to-door delivery. You won’t find this in a supermarket aisle; the only way to experience this dark, decadent nectar is to buy Blackberry Mead online through our secure shop. Whether you are a longtime fan of the "Nectar of the Gods" or a wine drinker looking for something more adventurous, this bottle is designed to impress.
The Flavor Profile: A Symphony of Dark Fruit
Our Blackberry Mead is defined by its intensity. We don't just add a hint of fruit; we ferment our honey with a massive amount of sun-ripened berries to ensure the character of the fruit is present in every drop.
-
The Color: A stunning, deep garnet hue that glows when held to the light—a beautiful addition to any dinner table.
-
The Nose: Prominent notes of jammy blackberries, wildflower honey, and a hint of forest floor. It smells like a walk through a bramble patch in peak season.
-
The Palate: This is a semi-sweet fruit honey wine. You’ll taste the immediate sweetness of the honey, followed by a wave of dark berry richness. The natural tannins from the blackberry skins provide a sophisticated structure and a slightly dry finish that prevents it from being overly sugary.
This is an artisan blackberry mead that bridges the gap between a classic dessert wine and a bold Cabernet. If you love dark fruit profiles, this is the bottle you’ve been waiting for.
Gourmet Pairings: How to Enjoy Your Blackberry Melomel
Because of its bold fruit presence and honeyed backbone, our Blackberry Honey Wine is a powerhouse when it comes to food pairing. It has the acidity to cut through fat and the sweetness to complement savory glazes.
The Savory Side
Don't relegate this mead to the dessert course. It thrives alongside hearty meals:
-
Grilled Meats: The dark berry notes are a perfect match for smoked brisket, venison, or a charred ribeye steak.
-
Gamey Flavors: Pair a glass with roasted duck or lamb lollipops to highlight the fruit’s earthy undertones.
-
Creamy Blue Cheese: The "funk" of a Gorgonzola or Roquefort is brilliantly balanced by the sweet, dark fruit of the mead.
The Sweet Finish
If you do prefer it as a treat, it pairs naturally with:
-
Cheesecake: A New York-style cheesecake with a graham cracker crust is the ultimate partner for this melomel.
-
Dark Chocolate: Any dessert featuring 70% cocoa or higher will bring out the hidden complexities of the berries.
-
Fresh Berries: Serve it with a simple bowl of macerated berries and whipped cream for a refreshing summer dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Blackberry Mead a wine? Technically, yes! It is a "honey wine." While grape wine is fermented grape juice, mead is fermented honey. When we add fruit like blackberries, it becomes a sub-category known as a Melomel.
Should I serve this chilled or at room temperature? We recommend a "cellar temp" or a light chill (about 55°F). This allows the complex aromas of the honey and the dark fruit to open up without being masked by extreme cold.
How long can I store an unopened bottle? Our Blackberry Melomel ages gracefully. While it is delicious right now, the honey and fruit flavors will continue to meld and soften over 1–2 years if stored in a cool, dark place.
Do you ship outside of Philadelphia? Absolutely! While we are proud of our Philly roots, our mission is to make our artisan honey wine available to enthusiasts across the country. Check our shipping map at checkout to confirm availability in your state.
