Chardonnay Verjus - 750ml

Mount Zero Chardonnay Verjus

Tasting Notes:
Verjus is a mild acidulant made from unripe, unfermented Chardonnay grape juice that is chilled and filtered to prevent fermentation. Softer than citrus juice and milder than vinegar, it balances sweet fruit flavours with a drying, zingy acidity. Ideal for blending with extra virgin olive oil as a salad dressing, stirring into mayonnaise, enriching winter stocks, deglazing pans, or as a substitute for white wine, lemon, or vinegar in recipes such as roast fowl.
