From Lambic.info : "This bottling and its label is based off of Cantina Giardino's Drogone Wine and is the second time that the brewery and the winery have worked together on a blend. Prior to being blended with the lambic, the grapes went through a 3 month pellicular maceration in chestnut wood barrels. "

Bottle shared at Marine Hotel, Stonehaven. It pours clear pale red with a small white head. The aroma is pleasing level of funk, grape must, terracotta, grape skin, deep wood character, jammy vibes, juniper, cranberry, hint of ripe soft cheese, floral and rose. The taste is crisp, dry, must, funk, barnyard, pretty clean initially, cranberry, red grape, jammy, juicy, blood orange, pomegranate, damp hay, nutty, wood, light spice, limited acidity, floral, fragrant and juniper accents with a dryish finale. Medium body and fine carbonation. Stands out as quite different to other Cantillon offerings. A real beer - wine hybrid. Quaffable.

light inky purple color. Amazing nose, almost meaty, plums, oak, funky yeasty. Amazing depth. Prickly carbonation, tart, funky, tons of plums and meat. Juicy red berries. Intense palate that really highlights the wine well. This is more about the wine than the beer and it’s perfectly integrated. Not overly sour. Amazing depth on the palate and a long long red berry finish. Simply amazing

Schwach säuerlicher Beginn, auch die Trauben kommen angenehm hervor. Die Säure bleibt zurückhaltend, angenehm fruchtig, spritzig. Ansonsten konstant, eher mild, nett. 11/9/11/9/12/10
