Description

Cantillon Rosé De Gambrinus is a traditional raspberry lambic bottled regularly by Cantillon. Its fruit content is generally around 200g of raspberries per liter of lambic. The fruiting process for Rosé De Gambrinus consists of taking pre-frozen raspberries and placing them in stainless steel tanks with young lambic for a saturation period of 1-2 months. It is then transferred oak barrels for further maturation.

History / Other Notes

Cantillon has been making Framboise since 1909. The history prior to 1986 is described further on the Cantillon Framboise page.

The name Rosé de Gambrinus first made an appearance on a bottle in 1986 with the base lambic having been brewed in 1984. It has been in Cantillon's regular lineup ever since. There have been slight variations to the Rosé De Gambrinus label design over the years but it has remained generally consistent.. The most notable variation involved briefly clothing the woman due to label approval issues in the United States.
