Fuhr Estate Winery: Exploring the Art and Craft of Canada's Finest Dry Meads
At Fuhr Estate Winery & Craft Distillery, we take immense pride in crafting our signature collection of dry meads, and as a member of the team (the guy on the far right above), I’m thrilled to share what makes them truly special. Our award-winning Traditional Mead, the locally beloved Saskatoon Mead, and the bold, flavorful Sour Cherry Mead each showcase the dedication and artistry that define our craft.
Traditional Mead: A Timeless Classic
Our Traditional Mead is a true standout, and it’s easy to see why. Crafted in small batches using locally sourced honey, this mead has earned an impressive 88-point rating, along with recognition at the Alberta Beverage Awards in both 2022 and 2023. Its delicate floral and citrus notes, paired with a dry, clean finish, make it a versatile favorite. Whether served alongside dishes like pork chops or turkey, or enjoyed on its own, the Traditional Mead embodies the essence of our commitment to quality.
Saskatoon Mead: Celebrating Alberta’s Roots
As an Alberta-based winery, we’re proud to feature the iconic Saskatoon berry in our Saskatoon Mead. This mead is a celebration of Alberta’s agricultural heritage, blending the berry’s natural tanginess and subtle sweetness with the smooth undertones of honey. It’s a local favorite that perfectly represents our region, and its versatility shines when paired with sharp cheeses or hearty game dishes.
Sour Cherry Mead: Bold and Adventurous
If you’re looking for something with a little more edge, our Sour Cherry Mead is the answer. Bursting with vibrant cherry flavors, this ruby-red mead balances bold fruitiness with a dry finish. It’s a customer favorite for pairing with dark chocolate or charcuterie boards, and its striking flavor profile makes it a conversation starter at any table.
The Craft of Dry Mead
Dry meads are defined by their lack of residual sugar, which is achieved through a fermentation process that fully converts the sugars in honey. This results in a crisp, clean, and balanced beverage that appeals to those who prefer drinks without sweetness. For anyone who enjoys complexity and sophistication over sugar-forward profiles, dry meads are an excellent choice.
