What exactly is Verjus? Verjus is made from the thinning of semi-ripe organically grown wine grapes in our vineyards during veraison.  Thinning these 'green' grapes or veraison is an essential viticulture practice when growing premium wine grapes. Verjus is a your choice for a gentle acid and does not overtake the existing flavors in your dishes. Verjus heightens rather than mask flavors in cooking. 

Verjus may be used in place of or in addition to lemon Juice, balsamic or red Wine vinegar or rice wine vinegar. This centuries-old ingredient is used in place of vinegars in your favorite vinaigrette recipe, splashed over fresh-cut seasonal fruit, steaming vegetables, light, white fish, and for deglazing pans. Use it in risottos and rice, as a bath for fish or seafood; marinades for red or white meats including chicken and pork.
