Tommie Sjef Franc
Other Styles 7.7 º
Tommie Sjef Franc presents an intricate sensory tapestry, wedding the rustic charm of a wild Brett Beer with the vinous depth of Cabernet Franc and Kékfrankos red wine grapes. The long maturation in Amarone foeders introduces layers of dark fruit, aged wood, and subtle balsamic notes that provide remarkable depth. On the nose, vibrant aromas of crushed berries and stone fruit mingle with a tempered, earthy funk reminiscent of wet hay and leather. The palate is defined by a bright, vinous acidity and a structure echoing fine red wine, finishing exceptionally dry and crisp. This blend expertly balances the freshness of young grapes with the complex, oxidative grace of extended wood aging.
Appearance. Deep ruby to garnet; light pinkish-tan head with moderate retention and delicate lacing; slight haze with a translucent, jewel-like quality.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant vinous notes of Cabernet Franc and Kékfrankos including blackberries, plums, and currants. Brett-derived complexity offers moderate funk—wet hay, leather, and earthy dust. The Amarone foeder contributes subtle vanillin, dried fruit, and aged wood. No notable hop aroma; malt is very low and neutral.
Taste. Immediate burst of tart red grapes and dark berries. The vinous character is assertive, with Kékfrankos providing a bright freshness against the deeper, dried-fruit notes of the Amarone-aged base. Minimal malt sweetness is quickly overtaken by a moderate, clean acidity and firm Brett-driven attenuation. Bitterness is very low. The finish is bone-dry and lingering, marked by fine-grained wood tannins and a persistent berry skin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a vinous, slightly prickly mouthfeel. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively lift. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth. Light tannin-driven astringency adds structure without being harsh.
