Dansk Mjord Vikinge Runer, meaning 'Viking Runes,' is a captivating and uniquely spiced mead that draws from 5,000 years of history while offering a truly modern and distinctive taste experience. From the esteemed Danish producer Dansk Mjod, this Nordic honey wine is crafted with pure, all-natural ingredients, inspired by historic recipes dating back to around the year 1700.
Vikinge Runer achieves its stunning deep red color and complex character from an innovative blend of botanicals. The foundation of pure honey and water is thoughtfully infused with tart sour cherries, exotic Tasmanian pepperberries, and a selection of complementary warming spices. This careful combination creates an intriguing dialogue on the palate: an initial intense sweetness, derived from both the honey and the unique pepperberries, is beautifully balanced by the vibrant tartness of the cherries, leading to a truly memorable flavor profile.
Bottled at 19% ABV, this mead finishes with a warm, slightly spicy, and delightfully "temperamental" aftertaste that showcases its exceptional depth and character. Dansk Mjod Vikinge Runer is wonderfully versatile; enjoy it as a dessert wine, where it pairs exceptionally well with dark chocolate and other rich desserts, or serve it chilled on a warm night, either straight or topped with a splash of demi-sec sparkling wine for a unique aperitif.
