A dry, fresh mead with rhubarb made in honor of the goddess of love and fertility. It has a more acidic lemon base with a very subtle bitterness.
With the Nordic Table Series, they are launching a mead adapted to the modern Nordic menu.
Freyja is the goddess of love and fertility in Norway mythology and is described as seductive, mysterious, elegant and beautiful.
In her honor, they have created a fresh and sour mead with rhubarb that works in most situations where white wine is usually served. Freyja goes well with seafood, salads and light chicken dishes, but can of course also be enjoyed on its own.
