Oude Kreik is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries on young lambic for at least four months, in a proportion of one kilogram of fruit per litre of lambic. The kriek lambic is then blended again wwith more young lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 35% fruit, and is bottled immediately afterwards. These bottles are then stored in Drie Fonteinen's cellars for at least 5 months so that the kriek lambic can develop into a beautiful traditional and refined Oude Kreik. With a pleasant tartness and organic notes of almond and cinnamon as it warms in the glass, this will age perfectly but may lose some of the vibrant red colors and forest fruit aromas over time.
