The grapes used in Don Quijote are called Uva Fragola – literally “strawberry-grape” – and were given the name due to their strong strawberry-like aromatic characteristics. A North American import to Europe and known in English as Isabelle grapes, Uva Fragola falls under the Vitis labrusca species of grape rather than the traditional wine grape family of Vitis vinifera, and Italian and European law forbids the official marketing or sale of wine using it

20K rating. 750 bottle thanks to JMFP. Pours a cloudy orange pink with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is strong funk, oak, grape skin. Medium body, welchs grape juice, nice funk, light oak, was a treat to finally tick this. As Charlie says in Always Sunny after beating Boggs, “what do now?”

enjoyed during 2011 RBWG pours hazy dirty blond with a medium off white head. Aroma is dirty daipers, very pungent and dank. Flavor is ruhbarb and lemon with earthy tartness that is damned nice. Finishes with a mix of grapes and barnyard funk.

Bottle shared with Travlr and Livingstone: Poured a reddish ruby with pink tints, hazy white head. The aroma is sour grapes, fruit, nice funkiness. The taste is up front sour, mellows into fruit strawberry. Dry oak barrel finish. I don’t normally dig lambics, however this stuff is liquid gold.

Thank you Greg for sharing this bottle at the LCBS 10. WoW!!! The beer poured ruby red with a small pink head. The aroma was grape and carbonation. The taste was fantastic with grape flavors headlining the bill. Providing the backbeat were tart citrus and straw notes..... Amazing.......

37.5 ml bottle courtesy of Franco, shared with SHIG on Oct 16, 2010. Special thanks to Franco for sharing this one, and for spending a wonderful afternoon with us! Pours slightly hazy orange, medium white head. Aroma of strawberries, pineapple, slight raspberries, dust. Taste is acidic, very fruity with strawberries dominating. Good character and complexity already, but I can’t wait to see what happen to this one over time - it has great potential. I hope he and Umberto brew it again next year! 9-4-9-4-18. Next rating, 750 ml bottle shared with ajax25g on November 6, 2013. Poirs cloudy rose red color, thin pink head. Aroma is amazing, with attic dust and basement funk, with bright fruit in the background. Taste is softly sour cherries, strawberries, lemon. Dry finish. Amazing. Next taste, bottle shared with Franco in the opening moments of 2018. The fruitiest I have ever had, perfectly preserved over the years. Continues to impress.

Faintly pink, thinning head, fed by lively carbonated hazy orange-flamingo beer. Intense aroma of red fruit & rosehips, with a slight taint of rotting - close to noble rot, but also to "’t putteke". Tart, dry, raspberry-like flavour, but way more delicate, wild (red) fruit or quetches, again this noble rot - or truffles - flavour peeking through. High acidity level, not for the fainthearted! Dry-out effect, puckeringly sour, very refreshing, some slickness, near filmy, at the back of the tongue. Aftertaste has totally exotic fruit (or blueberries!), something vinous and a jumble of acids. Absolutely unique - and hence un TRES grand merci à Glougloupdany pour ce merveilleux souvenir de voyage!
