MEADMAKER NOTES
"MoCA is a bochet style mead. We caramelize the honey at low temperature for a week. This darkens the color, reduces the amount of water and intensifies the flavor of the honey, creating darker, somewhat woody and caramel notes. We ferment this honey with cocoa and lactose powder and after fermentation we age it for 12 months with coffee beans and vanilla beans from the farm." - Alejandra Araya.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MOCA
10–12°C (50–54°F)
The best temperature to serve MOCA is between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius. This temperature allows the complex flavors of cocoa, coffee, and vanilla to fully express themselves, while the effervescence remains refreshing and pleasant. Avoid serving it too cold, as it could mask some of the more subtle notes.

The ideal glassware for MOCA is a brandy glass or snifter. These glasses allow the aromas of cocoa, coffee and vanilla to be concentrated and better appreciated, in addition to improving the tasting experience thanks to their shape that directs the mead towards the palate.
Alternatively, a glass of medium-bodied red wine is also suitable, as it allows a good appreciation of the complex aromas and flavors of MOCA.

To properly store MOCA, store it in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and sudden changes in temperature. A cellar or a cool pantry are ideal options. Keep the bottle upright to minimize contact of the mead with the cap, which will help preserve its flavors and effervescence.
The shelf life of MOCA can vary, but it is generally recommended to consume it within 2 to 3 years of bottling to enjoy it at its best. As it ages, flavors can evolve and develop further, but after this period, quality and freshness can begin to decline.
