Spontaneous Fermentation of 1,2 and 3 year barrel
Spontaneous Manifesto marks a milestone as The Monolith’s inaugural 100% Spontaneous Fermentation release. Made using historical methods developed in Belgium over generations, this blend of 1, 2 & 3 year barrels is our quintessential Spontaneous Fermentation blend. The result of these techniques is a unique product shaped by our local environment and indigenous microflora. It showcases classic stone fruit, apple and citric flavours and aromas with some bright red wine fruitiness, and subtle tannin, highlighted by a balanced acidity.

June 08, 2026 (8/4/8/4/16=4.0): Poured from 375mL bottle (2024 vintage). Lightly hazed gold with small white head. Soft and funky with feint citrusy tartness, very drinkable.

Amber, chill haze. Definitely a gueuzey nose with leather and bugs. Less gueuzey on the palate, more malt, good bugs, a touch lemony, bit of wood and decent complexity. Am i getting a little red wine barrel?

Iets troebele goudgele kleur met plakkerig wit schuim. Geur is zurig, brett-funky. Zurig in de mond. Smaak is zurig met een vleugje zoet en wat hout. Alcohol voelt warmend. Iets droge afdronk.
