Cider matured on Italian Barbera grapes that previously macerated on Lambic. Instead of throwing the used grapes away, we decided to reuse them to infuse our regular cider with some extra colour and flavour. It provides some extra vinous depth for the cider, along with some tannic notes.
Since 2022, Oud Beersel has been working with Vitalii Karvyha, the former Berryland cider maker from Ukraine, who had to flee the war. They put their skills together to produce cider on the wooden barrels at Oud Beersel. The proceeds from the sale of the cider should enable Vitalii to start up an activity again.
