Barbara Ohlzelt Zweigelt Verjus 50cl

Beautifully pure, super high quality Verjus from Barbara hlzelt. Many, many uses lots of opportunities.

Verjus literally Green juice is made from under-ripe grapes harvested around the first week of August some 4-6 weeks before they are wine-ready. In effect its a late green harvest but instead of dropping the bunches to the floor, they are taken to the winery and pressed. There are no additives and there is no fermentation in the bottle its just green grape juice with zero alcohol. It sounds sharp and it is but the flexibility and number of uses you can put Verjus to are remarkable Zero alcohol, zero added sugar adult drinks Cocktails Mocktails dressings sauces patisserie etc etc. Whereas vinegar is acetic and therefore argues with wine, Verjus is grape juice and therefore tends to compliment wine.

The Zweigelt version is just that little bit softer at the edges than the Gruner. More accessible as an undiluted drink, though youll definitely still register a fairly crackly acidity, it still dilutes really nicely. Again the flavours of the grapes come through quite clearly in the background
