3 Fonteinen Zenne y Frontera Solera (season 17|18) Blend No. 21

bottling date: 31/01/18

From the original first 12 barrels purchased in 2012, only seven survived after two solera cycles. This batch is a blend of two of these barrels, blended with lambics from the second run of sherry barrels and backblended with a small portion of young 3 Fonteinen lambik. Hence, the average age of these lambics is still over 45 months. Because of the sensitivity of the lambik pellicle compared to that of sherries, the solera method will be discontinued.

3 Fonteinen Zenne y Frontera is een unieke creatie van Armand Debelder en maître-sommelier Andy De Brouwer. Dit natuurlijke millésime bier is een assemblage van jonge traditionele lambikken die verder gerust hebben op veertig jaar oude authentieke Oloroso en Pedro Ximénez sherryvaten. Zenne y Frontera is de perfecte symbiose van enkele koppige karakters, vele wilde ideeën, immens fijne aroma’s en twee mooie streken.
