Banyuls Wine Vinegar 50cl

More than a fabulous summertime destination, this is the home of famed Banyuls wines and Banyuls wine vinegars.
The region has been granted the French certification of appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) or controlled designation of origin. Growers must follow sets tandards designed to ensure their grapes will have certain unique characteristics based on terroir, the French term that comes from the word terre, or land.It’s used to describe the impact on a crop—most often grapes—of the climate and temperature, the soil and topography, other environmental conditions, and farming techniques. For wine in general, these elements all greatly, and often uniquely, impact aroma andflavor.
For Banyuls in particular, both the wine and the vinegar made from it, the terroir creates a distinctive sweetness.
When you taste this vibrantly red Vinaigre de Banyuls,you’re tasting thousands of years of history!
This vinegar has the best elements of both a full-bodied red wine and a finely crafted sherry. On the nose, you get hints of brown butter, rosewater, walnuts and hazelnuts, strawberries, plums, gingerbread, vanilla,and currants. On the palate, it’s acidic, yet sweet, and fresh.
You can taste the terroir—there’s an appealing earthiness, along with notes of fennel, ginger, currants,toasted walnuts, and raisins.
The very aromatic finish has just a hint of smokiness from the barrels it was aged in and a spiciness akin to white pepper.
