Crafted from indigenous Australian Quandong fruit and local honey, Ferjen Quandong Liqueur Mead is a bold fusion of native flavour and traditional mead-making. This unique liqueur mead from Chateau Dorrien offers a rich, fruit-forward experience that’s both adventurous and refined—perfect for those who appreciate something truly different.
Tasting Notes
Lusciously moreish and richly layered, this mead opens with vibrant notes of apricot and peach from the native Quandong fruit. Beneath the fruitiness lies a subtle earthiness, hints of toasted cereal, and a gentle nuttiness that round out the palate. The honey base adds a smooth, golden sweetness, leading to a long, warming finish that invites another sip.
Perfect Pairings
Pairs exquisitely with Brie, prosciutto, green apple slices, roasted almonds, and dark chocolate. Its sweet-tart profile also complements rich pâtés, fruit-based desserts, and nutty cheeses.
Serving Suggestion
Serve chilled or over ice for a refreshing after-dinner treat. For a lighter option, top with soda water and garnish with a slice of green apple or a sprig of mint.
