Blend of lambics aged on average 16 to 18 months and of Muscat grapes.
Muscat grapes make Vigneronne a delicate and very refreshing beer that, due to the fructose, is slightly less acidic than other Cantillon beers.

In spite of its success, the Vigneronne represents less than 5% of the total production of the Cantillon brewery. In order to obtain grapes which are as mature as possible, we buy them at the end of the season. Every year, 1000 kilos of white italian grapes are delivered at the Cantillon brewery in the beginning of October.
It is difficult to produce more Vigneronne even though the demand exists. All the grapes are picked from the bunch by hand and we don’t have much time, since the new brewing season starts at the end of October.
The beers are not blended before the bottling. The second fermentation is caused by the addition of a sugared liquor.
The six-pointed star on our label is an alchemist’s symbol. It contains four elements, represented by triangles, of the brewing process. The fire is the symbol of the mashing tun, the earth of the cereals, the air of the yeasts, and the water is the fourth element. At this moment, only a brewer of traditional lambic may use this symbol.

Zaskakujaco wysoka kwasnosc. Przepieknie fajna paleta, pojawily sie serowe nutki, spora owocowosc. Dla mnie kwasnosc za duza nieco

Woo, my first Cantillon visit. Just a small taster. Pretty light, with lots of grape. Some sharp acidity, nice white wine aroma, plenty of wood and a bit of sweetness. Maybe not as complex as I'd like, though, but very refreshing and full of flavour.

Bottle. Pours hazy light gold with a thin white foamy head. Aromas of tart green grapes, slight lactic, some leather. Taste is tart green grapes, some sweeter notes, pretty funky, barnyard, slight leather with a dry grapy finish.
