CC Crush from Antelope Ridge Mead is an award-winning pyment with around 13-14% ABV, crafted from honey and Cotton Candy grapes, a variety known for its natural aroma reminiscent of spun sugar. This combination gives the mead a unique sweetness and fruit character that stands out from traditional styles.
The aroma is dominated by juicy grape notes layered over delicate honey undertones, while the flavor delivers a rich interplay of sweetness and fruity freshness in perfect balance. Its texture is full-bodied, almost wine-like, yet marked by a distinct honey presence that adds depth and complexity.
Designed as a lavish, dessert-style mead, it still retains elegance and drinkability. This pyment highlights the innovative use of a distinctive grape variety alongside carefully managed fermentation, making it a striking example of Antelope Ridge Mead’s creativity.
