Noble Verjus, Pinot Noir / 750 ml

Also known as “verjuice”, Verjus is the pressed juice of unripened grapes. While acidic, Verjus has a gentler flavor than vinegar, with a sweet-tart taste that is often used to heighten the flavour of many sauces or mustards. The word Verjus derives from the French term vert jus, literally “green juice”, which refers to its source—the high-acid, low-sugar grapes that winemakers thin from the vines just when the crop is beginning to ripen. This early crop of unripe grapes is pressed, resulting in Verjus. Unlike wine, however, Verjus is not fermented, and is not alcoholic, meaning that it will not interfere with the flavour of the accompanying drinking wine. 

Not as sharp as vinegar but more tart than white wine. You'll find it interesting and versatile for both Savory and Sweet Applications. Splash to deglaze a pan, or add a little zing to risotto. Use instead of lemon juice or wine. Perfect for sauces for meat or spicy foods, as well as marinating and salad dressings.
