Cantillon - Vigneronne 2023 750ml
*Limited to 1 bottle per person*
"Blend of lambics aged on average 16 to 18 months and of organic Viognier grapes.
Viognier grapes make Vigneronne a delicate and very refreshing beer that, due to the fructose, is slightly less acidic than other Cantillon beers.
In spite of its success, the Vigneronne represents less than 5% of the total production of the Cantillon brewery. In order to obtain grapes which are as mature as possible, we buy them at the end of the season. Every year, 1000 kilos of white French grapes are delivered at the Cantillon brewery in the beginning of October.
It is difficult to produce more Vigneronne even though the demand exists. All the grapes are picked from the bunch by hand and we don’t have much time, since the new brewing season starts at the end of October. The beers are not blended before the bottling. The second fermentation is caused by the addition of a sugared liquor." - Cantillon
