Bottle Log

01/26/2023||750 mL||For this Druif, we macerated the ever fragrant Gewurztraminer grape, harvested in the summer 2022 in Bourgheim, Alsace, on one- and three-year old lambik, for more than four months. The old portion accounts for almost 80%, rendering the weighted average age of more than 31 months. The final fruit intensity is 437 grams of Gewurztraminer grapes per litre of finished Druif. Almost 65% of the nine different lambikken were brewed with local cereals. A small part of this blend was also bottled on magnums. 100% 3 Fonteinen.

12/14/2020	750 mL	In September 2020, we had the honour to pass by at a befriended natural winemaker in Pfaffenheim, Alsace for the second time in a row. After a wild and short night - it was the season workers’ end-of-harvest party - we got up early to pick a few hundred kilos of Gewürz. That same night, we put the grapes, with stem and all, on an ex-wine barrel and let them sit for three months. While it is hard to pinpoint an exact fruit intensity, it is a beautiful expression of the unique aromas of Gewürztraminer. We used the spent grapes and pomace for other projects... Merci à JF et sa belle famille ! 100% 3 Fonteinen, bottle count: 282.
