In January 2020, we went to the traditional sherry region in the south of Spain to source our own sherry barrels for future Zenne y Frontera projects. And that is how we found the bodega of Josefa Perez Rosado. In a small barrel room, just behind the Iglesia de Santiago, right in the heart of the village of Jerez de la Frontera, we had the honour to meet and talk with the family Perez. Only one fifth of the barrels was left, as the bodega had ceased operations. From those remaining barrels, we tasted and selected the best ones to move to our barrel room. While selecting the barrels for the next series of Zenne y Frontera, we chose the most outspoken ones to make a series of single barrel sherry lambik.

For this one, we chose an Amontillado barrel that held sherry for more than 33 years and most probably for over 40 years. We put two jonge lambikken that have aged for over a year on the barrel, before being bottled. The weighted average age of the lambikken while bottling was 26 months. 100% 3 Fonteinen.

Pours a hazed blonde, scent is full, intense oak, nutty, complex. Full, tad fleshy almost. Taste is full, smooth, very nutty, syrupy almost due to the intensity. Lovely oxidative profile. High, but balancezd tartness. Awesome, even better than expected.
