For this Druif, we macerated hand-picked Austrian Blaufränkisch grapes for about five months on an oak barrel and on three-year old lambik, before blending it with two- and three-year old lambikken. This grape lambik has a weighted average age of more than 28 months at the moment of bottling. The final fruit intensity is 371 grams of grapes per litre.

A few years ago, we started working with the most progressive low-intervention winemakers around Europe. Claus Preisinger is renowned for his innovative approach in his vineyard, involving natural and regenerative farming. His Weingut is located in Burgenland, Austria.

A 750ml corked and caged bottle, blend°44, season 22/23, bottled on 9th February 2023. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.

Appearance: A very nice cherry red colour with a slight purple tinge, and a half finger pinkish head that had pretty good retention, while leaving some nice lacing.

Aroma: Grape skin, red wine vinous, blackberry, oak, with light dusty notes.

Taste: Lightly sour, tart, blackcurrant, blackberry, grape skin, red wine vinous, oak, and a touch of funk.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Overall: Loved the flavours in this, as the blackcurrant, blackberry and red wine vinous notes just worked really well together. Really tasty and just works for me.
