We are very often blessed with the people we meet along our path. A few years ago, Armand let us taste an amazing Gewürztraminer from one of the most stubborn natural winemakers from Pfaffenheim, Alsace, north-east of France. The no-intervention wine was simply splendid. We visited them a few times already to pick our own Gewürztraminer grapes. End of September 2019, we came back with 247 kilos of – what we think of as one of the nicest grape varieties around – Gewürz. We destemmed the grapes immediately upon our return and put them with 250 litres of lambik on an ex-Bordeaux barrel.

The maceration period took about five months. Prior to bottling, we blended with just a tad of young lambik. The result is wine-like grape lambik with an abundant character. Final fruit intensity is 706 grams of must per litre of druivenlambik. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik.
