Timmermans Griotteke Set | 2 x 75 cl + glass

Authentic yet contemporary, GRIOTTEKE! After decades of being abandoned due to its rarity and the laborious manual harvest, the Schaarbeekse kriek is finally being appreciated again by traditional lambic breweries such as the Timmermans brewery. And this for its lively red juice and its sweet and sour taste. Six months! That is how long we let the Schaarbeekse cherries macerate in one of our young lambic barrels, before blending the krieken lambic with lambic that has itself matured for 6 months, but then in Pinot Noir and Bourgogne barrels. The final touch: the refermentation in the bottle that begins as soon as the cork is on the majestic black bottle.Ontdek zijn heerlijke parfum van verse krieken en zijn levendige verfrissende zuren van Schaarbeekse krieken die ons gehemelte omhullen. De wijnachtige toets van Griotteke zorgt voor een prachtige signatuur van deze authentieke Oude Schaarbeekse kriek. 

GRIOTTEKE is both authentic and contemporary! Due to their rarity and intensive, manual harvesting process, Schaarbeek cherries disappeared from the spotlight for several decades. Today, however, they are once again being used extensively by lambic breweries such as the Timmermans brewery for their bright red juice and sweet-sour taste. Six months: that is how long the Schaarbeek cherries are given to macerate in one of our young lambics. We then blend this kriek lambic with a lambic that has matured in bourbon barrels for 19 weeks. The ‘kriek’ on the cake is the refermentation that begins as soon as the cork seals this beautiful black bottle.Verse krieken met een vleugje vanille en karamel, verkregen door de rijping in houten bourbon vaten.De levendige en verfrissende zurigheid van de Schaarbeekse krieken wordt ogenblikkelijk waargenomen in de mond. De volle en stevige structuur, verrijkt door de bourbon, geeft Griotteke zijn kenmerkende authenticiteit als Oude Schaarbeekse Kriek.
