Barbara Ohlzelt Gruner Verjus 50cl

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.

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

The Gruner Verjus is the brisker of the two raw versions . Undiluted, theres a fairly pointy initial acidity with a lovely, lingering Gruner flavour building in the background. Dilute with sparkling water to taste though 50/50 works nicely and just look at how the aromatics lift, the acidity drops and the finish just runs on and on .. making a lovely, pure, refreshing, zero alcohol drink with no added sugars in fact no added anythings! Replace vinegars in salad dressings or sauces, swap for lemon juice in patisserie, sorbets, ice creams etc use as a modifier in cocktails or a base in Mocktails . This is a fantastically high quality, super versatile product.
