Made from 100 percent black grenache—or “garnatxa” in Catalan—grapes, this red wine vinegar from winemakers Espelt Viticultors has more depth and character than other vinegars we’ve tried. Because it’s made with a single varietal of grape, it gets more dimension than vinegars made from blends, as well as a balanced acidity. This one has a real sense of place: the rocky, minerally terroir and salty sea spray that make beautiful wines on the northeastern coast of Spain also flavor this rich, lush vinegar. Thanks to a 12-month aging process in French oak barrels, the tangy vinegar boasts notes of blackberry, vanilla and licorice on the nose, finishing with a toasted, plummy sweetness.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Ideal for salads and vegetables, try this vinegar in vinaigrettes and dressings; it would pair especially well with our Arugula Salad with Roasted Grapes. It’s a perfect finish for roasted or caramelized vegetables—try it in place of the sherry vinegar in our Spanish-Style Roasted Vegetables with Sherry Vinegar. And a splash adds brightness and depth to soups, stews and braised dishes. Stir in a teaspoon at the end of cooking our Beef, Orange and Olive Stew (Boeuf à la Gardiane).
