Ultimate Red Wine Vinegar
Description
Big, structured, and built for everyday brilliance
Made with California Shiraz and aged in 25-gallon American oak, Ultimate Red Wine Vinegar is your go-to when you want vinaigrettes and sauces with real backbone. Slow-fermented using an early-1800s method, it’s rich and meaty with a sharp, clean finish—the kind of balance that makes simple salads and roasted veg taste restaurant-ready.
Why it stands out
This bottle has the credentials and the crowd love to match: Double Gold & Best in Class for red wine vinegar, plus raves from home cooks who’ve taste-tested it against top brands. The verdict: smoother, deeper, and more versatile.
Flavor profile
Rich, savory depth with a bright, mouth-watering snap. Think “structured wine” energy but in vinegar form—rounded by oak, never harsh, and easy to use daily.
