Behind the Mead: Java Plum Rosé

Oh, Java Plum Rosé. How we love your botanical uniqueness.

The Java Plum tree is found throughout the island of Oahu. Near our North Shore apiary site, there are rows of Java Plum trees tucked into the mountain range. There, we climb on ladders and truck hoods to harvest our own supply of Java Plum fruit. Sometimes, we're brave enough to pop one into our mouths, and scrunch our noses at its astringent tartness.

The skin of the fruit is a deep purple color, which creates a gorgeous rosé sparkling mead. Co-fermented with mamane honey, our Java Plum Rosé has well-balanced acidity in the light fizz, a velvety texture with notes of red currants and stonefruits.

A staff and customer favorite, we know this rosé will never go out of style.
