For this iteration of Druif, we wanted to pick up the Malvasia thread again. The Malvasia grape family counts more than fifteen varieties, spread over Italy, Spain, Madeira etc. After Armand’s trial in 2003 with the Malvasia Nera (rosso), we found some Malvasia Bianca at Wijndomein Hoenshof.
We macerated the must for five months on a young lambik and in an oak barrel (ex-Bordeaux). We used two-year old lambik for blending. About one quarter of the volume of lambikken is brewed with cereals from our farmer network. The final fruit intensity is 501 grams of Malvasia must per litre of Druif. 100% 3 Fonteinen.

Flaska från 3F, blend 25, 20 - 21. Lätt disig, något blekare gul med vit krona. Söt och lite sockrig doft som drar åt persikogodisar och ett lite lättare vitt dessertvin. Låg kolsyran, men mjuk och fin kropp. Jämfört med sötman i doften så är den lättare smakmässigt och med en större syra. Biter lite i syran inledningsvis, men går sedan över i mer skal- och kärnbeska.
Marjane, viinamarjane, nats tikrit, funky, veits vesine, lõhn on peerune. Ok.

Pours unclear, darker yellowblonde. Small white head. Scent is milder grape (herbal / Fruity / yellow fruits) Taste is sharp, tart, intense yellow fruits ( citrus) tad herbal, lovely balance. Strong acidity, but a balanced palate of sours. Nice grape lambic, one of the better 3F grape beers.
