After a first run of grape based Spelingen from their 2018 harvest, and overwhelmed by the results, we continued experimenting with the grapes from Ghislain Houben and his son Jeroen from Hoenshof, Hoepertingen near Sint-Truiden, Limbug province, Belgium. For this Speling van het Lot, we macerated 250 kilos of Muscaris must for almost four months on an oak barrel. We bottled the grape lambic straight from the barrel to the bottle without any additional young lambic blended into it. Consequently, the final fruit intensity is 658 grams of grapes per liter of Druif. The lambics originate from 1 barrel and two different brews. 100% 3 Fonteinen.
Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen “Speling van het Lot” (Twist of Fate) is a series of small batch experimental brews, barrel maturations, fruit macerations and blends. This 10th version features a range of macerations in oak barrels of grapes, grape must and grape juice on lambic of Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen. The inspiration for these grape lambics comes forth from our love for high quality (natural) wines and our respect for wineries with vision. Add to that the creativity of a passionate team and the warm encounters with winemakers-friends, and the idea for a grape lambic series was born. Besides, it is a continuation of what Armand has done long before with macerations of Pinot, Chardonnay and Malvasia varieties...
