It has no artificial flavor enhancers, preservatives or colorings. "Old Style Kriek" or "Oude Kriek" is a protected name. 400 grams of wild cherries per liter ferment together with a strong Lambic spontaneously fermented and matured in 6,200 liters of oak (large wooden barrels) for 6 to 8 months. Then it goes into the bottles and we have secondary fermentation in a natural way. After 6 months of maturation in the bottle it is ready for us to taste. Kriek Mariage Parfait has high aging potential, keep it preferably for more than two years in a cool and dark place. Pour slowly into 2 glasses of flute without disturbing the yeast sediment in the bottle and enjoy this epitome of traditional Lambic brewing. Mariage Parfait has a clear deep red color, rosé head quite dense, aromas of cherry tarts and a mild Lambic funk, wine, well supported by its alcohol. Its taste is dominated by fresh notes of cherry with a touch of mild vineyard and a few notes of vanilla, balanced against a background of fragrant roasted oak. The body is filled with good carbonation. It accompanies excellent duck, roasted goose, baked foie gras , foie gras terrine and frozen goat cheeses.
