Blue Berry White from Superstition Meadery is a dessert mead with 13.5% ABV that combines the richness of blueberries, the creamy notes of white chocolate, and Arizona honey, aged in new American oak barrels. On the nose, it reveals floral hints of rose, complemented by warm tones of vanilla and intense fruity aromas.
The palate is lush and full-bodied - white chocolate brings softness and a creamy character, while juicy blueberries add refreshing sweetness and depth, rounded by subtle oak notes on the finish. Visually, it stands out with a distinctive amaranth hue that reflects its rich structure.
This blend earned a gold medal at the prestigious Mazer Cup competition in 2017, confirming its quality and innovative approach. Blue Berry White pairs beautifully with fruit tarts, vanilla ice cream, or chocolate-covered dates, offering a true luxury experience in a glass.
