Mulled wine – great. Gelato – also great. But Mulled Wine Gelato? It's the kind of thing only a mad scientist (or master ice cream maker) would ever dream up. Well, Brunswick's Lagom Gelateria might just be home to both.
Its new creation is edible nostalgia, with tasting notes of red wine, spices and citrus. Made with merlot from the Adelaide Hills, the concoction is mulled on a low flame and then set alight to develop further rich flavour before being creamed the next day.
Lagom Gelateria's Mulled Wine Gelato is unfortunately only available for a limited time – from Saturday, June 25 to Saturday, July 9. You can scoop it up (ha) at the OG location at 822 Sydney Road, or find it in fridges at Gertrude Grocer (Fitzroy and Kensington stores) for $15.95 for a 470ml tub.
