| Description: | Assemblage n° 52 • seizoen 19|20 • bottle count: 554 While
experimenting with grapes, we have always had in mind to
put the emphasis on fruitiness while balancing the nuances
of the cépages, and the characteristics of our traditional
lambik. While Cabernet aromas and taste can be on the
peppery side and green-bell-pepper-forward, we find that
this Speling features these characteristics in a subtle way.
Beginning of October 2019, we started macerating a good
200 kilos of Cabernet Cortis grapes on young lambik in an
ex-Bordeaux barrel. We let it sit for a good four and a half
months before blending it with a bit of other young lambik.
Final fruit intensity is at 548 grams of must per litre of
druivenlambik. 100% 3 Fonteinen. Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen
“Speling van het Lot” (Twist of Fate) is a series of small
batch experimental brews, barrel maturations, fruit
macerations and blends.
