Brewer Description: (from bottle) For this Druif, we macerated Spätburgunder (the German Pinot Noir) from Weingut Harth + Harth. Freshly picked in Rheinhessen. Maceration took almost four months. We only used two-and three-year old lambics, which brings the weighted average maceration upon bottling to almost 21 months. The final fruit intensity clocks at 500 grams of grapes per litre of finished Druif. Thank you Henning & family!
