She has one of the most bewildering collections. While a wild Schaarbeekse grows like a bush, Mireille has let them grown to a dense hedge. Every summer, it bursts with the most tasty Schaarbeekse sour cherries. In the summer of 2020, Mireille has brought in more than 200 kilos of pristine sour cherries, carefully selected. That is the exact reason why we did a dedicated maceration on a small oak barrel.||File:3F Schaarbeekse Kriek 25 Jan 2021.png|frameless|150px]]
