Made from unripe grapes, our verjuice is made from young Pinot Noir, hand picked off the vines before the sugars rise and the grapes begin ripening. Verjuice is fantastic for slow cooking chicken, in place of wine or other vinegars, in home made salad dressings or simply add a dash to sparkling water. Closed with cork and a waxed seal, the perfect addition to gift hampers.

As the cold weather rolls in, and we all turn to slow cooking and braising, remember to try our Verjuice.  Perfectly paired with chicken, fantastic in place of vinegar in home made salad dressings, or add a dash to your sparkling water.
