Honey wine with chili is produced cold and has a pleasant aroma of spices and a mild hot taste of chili.
This honey wine matures together with oak wood, which enhances the honey flavor and gives it a golden color. During the maturation period, a rich mixture of spices (cloves, cinnamon, etc.) is macerated in this mead for a long time. However, the most important ingredient is chili. Chilli is macerated in the barrel in the final stage of maturation. It thus enriches this honey wine with characteristic taste and aroma.
