WÖLFFER ESTATE Red Verjus (Verjus Rouge) 750ml

In 1996 Wölffer Estate was one of the first wineries to craft a verjus in the US.  We have now added a ‘red’ verjus: a vibrant, slightly sweet, wonderfully acidic and of course non-alcoholic juice made from grapes picked early.  Enjoy the delicious fresh flavors of this red vinifera grape juice, sustainably farmed from the heart of the Hamptons.

Prized by chefs as a substitute for vinegar or lemon, it works wonders in salad dressings and marinades, allowing a smooth integration of food and wine.  Our verjus is also used by mixologists to create fresh, inventive cocktails and mocktails.  It’s enjoyed by adults and kids alike, as a refreshing and delicious beverage on its own.

Non-alcoholic 

 Also known as “verjuice”, verjus is the pressed juice of unripened grapes. While acidic, verjus has a gentler flavor than vinegar, with a sweet-tart taste that is often used to heighten the flavor of many sauces or mustards. 

A definitive culinary ingredient indigenous to wine-producing regions of the world, it has a wide variety of uses in the kitchen. It’s most commonly used to deglaze sauté pans, however Verjus can also be used to add acidity and freshness to sauces; for poaching fish, or to season vegetables, fruits and salad.
