Wijngaard Saison (2018)
(Batch of Wijngaard Saison)

A blend of Fantôme saison brewed in 2017 with 2 and 3 year old lambic and grapes. In early september 2018 we went on a trip to Italy, and we returned with a beautiful harvest of malvasia di candia aromatica from winery La Stoppa in Emilia Romagna and moscato bianco from Ezio Cerruti in Piemonte. For the final blend of this beer, we added some more brightness by blending in a lambic with 2017 harvest of muscaris grapes from Haspengouw. The tannins and peppery notes from extended skin maceration together with the floral aromas of the grapes work synergistically with the phenols and esters of the saison, adding to the complexity and balance of this blend. Bottled April 2019.
