This refined Fruit Lambic showcases a sophisticated interplay between funky aged lambic and the lush, floral character of red vineyard peaches. The one and two-year-old lambics provide a complex foundation of bright lactic acidity and rustic barnyard funk. The macerated Rhone Valley peaches contribute deep stone fruit notes, while the subtle touch of cherry wine adds a whisper of vinous red fruit and soft tannins to the profile. It pours with a vibrant, hazy golden-orange hue, offering an aroma of sun-ripened fruit, damp hay, and leather. The palate is bone-dry and tart, finishing with an elegant, lingering peach-skin bitterness.
Appearance.Hazy, golden-amber with distinct sunset-orange and soft pinkish hues. Pours with a moderate, off-white to pale peach-tinted mousse-like head that leaves fine lacing.
Aroma.High intensity of fermented red peach, floral and skin-like. This is supported by classic lambic aromatics: earthy barnyard funk, wet hay, leather, and a sharp lactic tang. Subtle vinous notes of red wine and tart cherry emerge in the background.
Taste.Bright, puckering acidity leads into rich, authentic red vineyard peach flavor. The lambic base provides complex lemon zest, aged wood, and earthy Brettanomyces character. The finish is exceptionally dry and vinous, highlighting a delicate fruit-skin tannin and a faint, lingering cherry pit note. Bitterness is very low and derived from fruit skins and aged hops.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a crisp, effervescent carbonation that scrubs the palate. Noticeable but pleasant tartness without harshness. Low astringency from fruit skins and oak aging. Very light alcohol warmth.
