3 Fonteinen Zenne y Frontera Pedro Ximénez Geuze (season 19|20) Blend No. 67 Magnum

bottling date: 16/04/20 • bottle count: 368 • MAGNUM only

This iteration of Zenne y Frontera is a Single Barrel Pedro Ximénez Geuze.

Beginning of 2019, we filled a freshly emptied old Pedro Ximénez barrel with jonge lambik and let it age for another year. Mid-April 2020, we blended that one barrel with a bit of more jonge lambik to create an effervescent refined sherry lambik, or a sherry geuze if you will. The weighted average age of the blend upon release will be older than thirty-five months. There were 368 bottles bottled, but we already shared a few among us, so a bit less are left. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik.

Pedro Ximénez sherry is the sweetest and darkest of sherries - due to the residual sugars from the sun-dried grapes with the same name - combined with typical muted oxidative characteristics and an aromatic abundance of typically figs, dates and raisins, and liquorice and dark chocolate.

After the primary fermentation, the PX wine is muted and subjected to a solera process. That is how typically, highly qualitative PX sherries have an average weighted age of over 20 years when bottled.
