Season 2020-2021 Assemblage #27. Bottled on 11/02/2021. "For this, Druif, we co-fermented Belgian Dornfelder with one- and two-year old lambik in a 53/47 cut. We used the freshly pressed and shortly skin-macerated juice and put the unfermented juice with young lambik for continued fermentation in stainless steel. Afterwards, we blended with two-year old lambik. All lambikken originate from seven different barrels and seven different brews. The final fruit intensity is 31.6%."

Season 2020-2021 Assemblage #26. Bottled on 10/02/2021. "For this Druif/Kriek, we blended a Belgian dornfelder druivenlambik and a kriekenlambik in a 50/50 proportion. We used both young and two-year old lambikken, originating from nine different barrels and nine different brews. The combined maceration took eight months and the final fruit intensity is 510 grams per litre of sour cherries and freshly pressed, skin-macerated grape juice."

Season 2020-2021 Assemblage #16. Bottled on 19/01/2021. "This Druif features the Muscaris variety, a crossing between Solaris and Muskateller. This rather young variety originates from the Freiburg region in Germany and combines an intense muscat bouquet with a higher sugar density than other Muscat varieties (especially when harvested slightly late). Anyhow, we put the grape must with fifteen-months old lambik on a small oak foeder. The lambikken that we used for blending, was a three-year old lambik (and makes up more than 10% of the total volume). The final fruit intensity is 469 grams of Muscaris grapes per litre of Druif. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik."

The fruits macerated for a weighted average of almost six months. We used two-and three-year old lambics for maceration only as there was no backblending involved. The lambics originate from three different barrels and thirteen different brews. The weighted average age of this blend is a good 20 months. The final fruit proportion is 486 grams of fruit used per litre of finished fruit lambic."

We macerated the grape must on two- and three-year old lambikken. Maceration took almost four months before blending and bottling. This brings the weighted average age of the blend to more than 22 months. The final fruit proportion is 396 grams of muscaris grapes per litre of Druif. Of all brews, more than a quarter was brewed with Pajottenland grown cereals. 100% 3 Fonteinen-brewed lambic."

Maceration took five months and we used two- and three-year old lambikken only. Afterwards, we blended with three-year old lambikken and very young lambikken for balance and bottle fermentation. In total, we used lambikken originating from four different barrels and ten different brews. The weighted average age of the blend is almost 22 months. The final fruit intensity is 500 grams of Riesling grapes per litre of finished Druif. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik.."

Maceration took almost four months. We only used two-and three-year old lambics, which brings the weighted average maceration upon bottling to almost 21 months.
