This iteration of Zenne y Frontera is a Single Barrel PX Geuze.

Pedro Ximénez sherry is the sweetest and darkest of sherries - due to the residual sugars from the sun-dried grapes with the same name - combined with typical muted oxidative characteristics and an aromatic abundance of typically figs, dates and raisins, and liquorice and dark chocolate. After the primary fermentation, the PX wine is muted and subjected to a solera process. That is how typically, highly qualitative PX sherries have an average weighted age of over 20 years when bottled.

Beginning of 2019, we filled such a freshly emptied old PX barrel with young lambik and let it age for another year. Mid-April 2020, we blended that one barrel with a bit of young lambik to create an effervescent refined sherry lambik, or a sherry geuze if you will. The weighted average age of the blend upon release will be older than thirty-five months. There were 368 bottles bottled, but we already shared a few among us, so a bit less are left. 100% 3 Fonteinen lambik.
