Season 2019-2020. Assemblage #79. Bottled on 07/10/2020. "While looking for old sherry barrels, we cannot get lucky all the time. While we will be sourcing barrels directly from bodegas to assure provenance and quality, we had a batch of Pedro Ximenez (PX) barrels that was on the peated side (albeit subdued). As a result, we decided not to use them for Zenne y Frontera, but to blend them with other (fruit) lambikken into geuze and fruit blends. This is the first of such blends to be released. Sour cherries were macerated partly on young peated lambik and partly on two-year old straight lambik in a stainless steel tank. We blended with young and three-year old (!) lambik. 55% of the blend is old lambik and the final fruit intensity is 567 grams of sour cherries per litre."

We aimed for a kriekenlambik (so remaining flat). We used lambikken from three different barrels and eight different brews. The weighted average age of the kriekenlambik upon bottling was 24 months.

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."

Season 2019-2020, Assemblage #41. Bottled on 13/02/20. "The one that knows it all, still has to be born” as Armand would say. From time to time, we still get surprised by some of the results after blending lambics. Like this Golden Doesjel. While it was intended to be a Golden Blend, and despite the use of very potent jyoung lambic, the fermentation in the bottle did not continue. And it remained flat. This blend was made with lambics from three barrels, originating from three brews with three different brewers (of which 50% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambic). A nice gentle sipper."
