Season 2022-2023 Assemblage 71.
For this Druif, we macerated Merlot grapes of Claus Preisinger for more than eight months on three-and-a-half-year-old lambik. Afterwards, we blended with some more four-year-old lambik. We used lambikken originating from three different barrels and seven different brews.
The weighted average age of this grape lambik is more than 44 months. The final fruit proportion is 380 grams of Merlot grapes per litre of Druif.
A few years ago, we started working with the most progressive low-intervention winemakers around Europe. Claus Preisinger is renowned for his innovative approach in his vineyard, involving natural and regenerative farming. His Weingut is located in Burgenland, Austria.

Founded in 1887, 3 Fonteinen originally specialised in the blending of Lambic acquired from other breweries to produce outstanding Gueuze and Kriek beer. In 1998, they expanded and began brewing their own, however they still use beer from breweries such as Boon and Girardin to this day, making their output a true representation of the Lambic culture.
