Speling van het Lot X.xi: Druif: Malvasia Bianca

Blend n° 25 • bottling date: 08/02/2021 • bottle count: 582

For this iteration of Druif, we wanted to pick up the Malvasia thread again. The Malvasia grape family counts more than fifteen varieties, spread over Italy, Spain, Madeira etc. After Armand’s trial in 2003 with the Malvasia Nera (rosso), we found some Malvasia Bianca at Wijndomein Hoenshof.

We macerated the must for five months on a young lambik and in an oak barrel (ex-Bordeaux). We used two-year old lambik for blending. About one quarter of the volume of lambikken is brewed with cereals from our farmer network. The final fruit intensity is 501 grams of Malvasia must per litre of Druif. 100% 3 Fonteinen.
