Moretum, the monks' wine since Antiquity

From the Latin mortarium, the mortar, moretum dates back to Antiquity. It was very popular in the 13th and 14th centuries, before being replaced by hypocras as spices spread across Europe. Monks drank it on feast days, hence its other name: the "monks' wine".

Ingredients: wine, cherry, eglantine, sugar and honey. Alcohol: 11% vol.

When to serve it

Always well chilled, as an aperitif, with dessert or in the evening.
