Season 2022-2023 Assemblage #71. Bottled on 24/05/2023. "FFor this Druif, we macerated Merlot grapes of Claus Preisinger for more than eight months on three-and-a-half-year-old lambik. Afterwards, we blended with some more four-year-old lambik. We used lambikken originating from three different barrels and seven different brews. The weighted average age of this grape lambik is more than 44 months. The final fruit proportion is 380 grams of Merlot grapes per litre of Druif. 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. "

Season 2022-2023. Bottled on 24/12/2022. "This Zenne y Frontera is a very small bottling of a four-year old lambik that has aged for more than two-and-a-half-years on two Oloroso sherry barrels. The weighted average age of this Zenne y Frontera is therefor more than 45 months; the historical weighted average of geuze blends. The long ageing on the sherry barrels also results in a higher alcohol volume. This is indeed a bottle to be shared on special occasions. Bottle count: 770. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

"This old authentic lambic is brewed according to an age-old tradition. Brewed with dedication and craftmanship in the Senne Valley. The fermentation and maturation took place in the heart of Brussels just above the Senne (in the cellars of the Saint-Gérys Halls). A maceration of 450g of local strawberries per liter of lambic gives this beer its typical nose and taste. Enjoy, to the fullest, Cheers!"

"Boon Geuze Mariage Parfait has an alcohol content of 8%. It consists of 95% mild lambic, aged at least three years and specially reserved for this purpose, and 5% young lambic. The latter provides the fermentable sugars and wild yeasts. After mixing in a vessel of 25,000 litres, the wort (unfermented mixture) is filtered and chilled. If we are bottling, we bring it back to fermentation temperature. The bottles are placed in a climate-controlled space for the secondary fermentation. This is followed by maturing at low temperature for at least 6 months. Want to know the bottling date? Simply subtract 20 years from the “best before” date!
The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonises with the oak barrels’ aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripen. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense. Sublime."

"Oude Geuze Boon Black Label Edition N°7 brings us back the typical long, dry aftertaste, yet very full-bodied taste that we are used to from Boon Black Label. With a very fresh citrus note and pleasant sparkle you can enjoy the Boon Black Label N° 7 as an elegant, easily drinkable tender Oude Geuze. This Edition N°7 was bottled on June 8, 2021. The blend is a mixture of lambic matured in oak barrels for one, two and three years. The Oude Geuze Boon Black Label Edition N °7 is a perfect aperitif beer. It is certainly also an ideal gueuze to enjoy with patience. It goes perfectly with fish dishes, such as combinations with oysters, salmon or mussels."
