Description
Try this fabulous red wine vinegar from Castell de Gardeny, a family-run company in Cataluña! It is made carefully using the Schützenbach method, which dates to 1823. Unlike most vinegars this is uses a fermentation process ten times slower than industrially-made vinegars. The alcohol content is allowed to aerate by circulating through sections of the fermentation vats, ensuring that the aromatic qualities of the original wine are preserved. As a result a vinegar is created with a richer and fuller flavour. After that, the vinegar is combined with a little grape must and aged for 12 months in French oak. As a result of these processes, this exquisite purple-red vinegar is refined and mature with an intensely aromatic nose and an attractive and elegant palate reminiscent of blackberries, raspberries and violets. It also has toasted notes from the ageing in French oak.
