Abbe Rous Vinegar

500 ml.  Small Production Vinegar

This unique vinegar is crafted from the naturally sweet wine of Banyuls, blending 50% Grenache Noir, 40% Grenache Gris, and 10% Carignan. It matures for six years in oak casks, resulting in a complex flavor profile and impeccable balance of sweetness and tartness. Vinegar of Banyuls is a must-have ingredient that enhances the taste of any dish. Its subtle hint of residual sugar and extended time in barrels make it a game-changing addition to your cooking.

The origins of Banyuls wine—the famous port-like wine with a French appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC)—is firmly entrenched in history: the region’s vineyards were originally planted by the Phoenicians; the terrace irrigation and flood management system dates back to the time of the Knights Templar; and its wine industry was commercialized in the 16th century by the Abbé Rous, a local abbot in need of funding for constructing a new church.
