For this first ever Cassis, 3 Fonteinen macerated freshly harvested blackcurrants on an ex-Bordeaux barrel for a good four months.

The lambics used for macerating and blending were all two years old, and originating from two different barrels and eight different brews. The weighted average age of this blend clocks at 26 months.

The final fruit proportion is 313 grams of cassis berries used per litre of finished fruit lambic. The berries were manually picked at Purfruit, a small community-supported orchard in West-Flanders, Belgium.

3 Fonteinen Cassis is the result of a slow and all-natural maceration of hand-picked blackcurrant on traditional lambic. No addition of juices, syrups or artificial sweeteners. Unfiltered. Unpasteurised.
