Almost each year we bring out a new vintage. This year we took a different approach on making Druif. We started with a blend of older beers (approximately 2 years in the barrel) refermented with Kékfrankos grapes, and aged in our oldest foudre for quite some time. Before bottling we blended this base with spontaneously fermented wine from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes we made in 2018 and aged in smaller burgundy barrels.

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled 25.09.2020. BB 25.09.2030. deep red clear color, small pink head. smells grape juice, tannins, some berry notes, minerals, spices, some wood, light marzipan. lovely smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes of grape juice, red wine, tannins, earthy, bit lactic, peppery, some minerals. finishes lightly dry and light to medium sour with notes of tannins, red wine and peppery notes. very nice one, lovely smell, taste is not as lovely, grape notes are rather subtle on the taste, tannins and peppery notes are more pronounced. Overall very nice one though.
