Made from red or white wine, wine vinegar is the most commonly used vinegar in Mediterranean countries and central Europe. As with wine, better quality wine vinegars are matured in wood for up to twenty years and exhibit complex, mellow flavors. Wine vinegar usually has lower acidity than white or cider vinegars. Some of the more premium wine vinegars are made from wine varieties such as champagne, sherry or pinot grigio. To create our Spanish Sherry Reserva Wine Vinegar, white grapes used for sherry are hand-pressed and sent to ferment in stainless steel. After reaching the desired alcoholic level, the wine is transferred to old oak barrels to undergo the conversion from alcohol to acetic acid. The final product is vinegar, which then continues to mature in the oak barrels--a process that can take up to three years.

Our Sherry Reserva vinegar is made according to the style of fine wine vinegars, only using Spanish sherry instead of red or white wine. Aged in wood for 25 years before going to market, this exceptional vinegar has a deep and intense flavor and is prized by chefs for reduction sauces and dressings alike.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
