Description

Cantillon Racine sur Lie is a 2 year old Lambic blended with Chardonnay, Tokay, and Sauvignon Blanc grape pomace. It was created in collaboration with Radikon, a winery in Oslavia, Italy. It was first bottled in 2020 in 75cl bottles, and the ABV is listed as 6.0%

History / Other Notes

According to Jean, during Arrogant Sour Fest in May 2019, they were tasting orange wine from Radikon with Andrea Rubbi, owner of the natural wine bar L'Ortica in Bologna. "It was impressive because the wine was so close to Lambic. Andrea is friend with Sasa Radikon and I asked him if I could contact the winemaker. Sasa accepted the collaboration and brought himself the vinacce (pomace)."

For the Racine sur Lie, 5 liters of fine lees were added to a single barrel of the lambic that was maturing as Racine. It was bottled without any additional blending. The label is a colorized version of the label produced by AmmoAmo and while the coloring is reminiscent of the Union Union Saint Gilloise football team, it is actually an homage to another Radikon bottling, the Radikon Risvera, which had a similarly colored label.
