Bottle Log
| Bottle Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | Bottle Size | Label / Notes | Image Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| 02/01/2022 | 750 mL | Batch 24 of season 21/22, 6.5% ABV. For this Perzik, we macerated German grown vineyard peaches (weinbergpfirsich) on two- and three-year old lambics. Maceration took a full four months, before blending with more two-year old lambics. This brings the weighted average age of this fruit blend to 26 months upon bottling. The lambics used in this blend originate from not less than five different barrels and fourteen different brews, of which the oldest was brewed in November 2018. The peaches were manually picked in the Mosel region in Germany, in between the steep hilled vineyards. The final fruit intensity clocks at 362 grams of vineyard peaches used per litre of finished Wijnbergperzik. | |
| 02/12/2023 | 750 mL | Batch 26 of season 22/23, 6% ABV. For this Wijnbergperzik, we macerated vineyard peaches for about four months on three- and four-year old lambik. Two thirds of the lambikken have been brewed by Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen, one third by Lindemans. The oldest lambik has been brewed in October 2019. This renders the weighted average age to more than 33 months. The final fruit proportion is 388 grams of Moesel-grown and hand-picked peaches per litre of Wijnbergperzik. | |
| 03/21/2023 | 750 mL | Batch 52 of season 22/23, 6.7% ABV. For this Perzik, we macerated red vine peaches from the Mosel region in Germany, growing in between and around the grapevines. We used two- and three-year old lambikken for maceration, and two-year old lambikken for blending, rendering the weighted average age to over 31 months. The lambikken used are for more than 70% brewed by ourselves. In these nine 3 Fonteinen brews, more than 85% of the cereals used were sourced within our Cereal Collective. The final fruit proportion is 453 grams of peaches per litre of Perzik. | |
| 12/07/2023 | 750 mL | Batch 13 of season 23/24, 6.1% ABV. For this Wijnbergperzik, we macerated vineyard peaches from the field of Ludo Rosseels, Gelrode, Brabant, Flanders. For macerating and blending, we used one- and two-year lambikken, originating from eleven different brews and five different barrels. The peaches macerated for more than three months on wooden barrels. The final fruit proportion is 398 grams of vineyard peaches per litre of Wijnbergperzik. About 70% of the cereals for this pure 3 Fonteinen blend used were sourced from our Cereal Collective. |
