Timmermans Griotteke

GRIOTTEKE returns, authentic and contemporary! The Schaarbeek cherry, neglected for decades due to its rarity and laborious hand-picking, is finally being re-appreciated for its bright red juice and tart-sweet taste by traditional lambic breweries like Timmermans Brewery. Six months! That's how long we let the Schaarbeek cherries macerate in one of our young lambic casks before we blend the cherry lambic with lambic that has itself been aged in Pinot Noir and Bourgogne casks for 6 months. The final touch: the bottle fermentation that begins as soon as the cork closes the majestic black bottle. The delicious scent of fresh cherries and the lively, refreshing acidity of the Schaarbeek cherries envelop our palate. The vinous note of Griotteke gives this authentic Oude Schaarbeekse kriek a nice signature.
