Temparia Vinegar
Temparia Vinegar
Our Temparia is currently out of stock. Nearly all the remaining vines of this varietal have been lost. In Spring of 2022, we will be grafting wood from the last remaining vines onto the entirety of our home vineyard. It is our hope that within 2 or 3 years, we will be making our Temparia vinegar from our own home vineyard grapes. In the meantime, we are working on a new aged oaked red wine vinegar to fill the gap until we have Temparia again. Join the waiting list below to be notified of our progress on this front.
'Temparia' was the first new grape varietal release from Ed Swanson of Cuthills Vineyard in Pierce, Nebraska. Ed's Temparia wine has a very straight-forward Bing cherry nose when young, which turns to more bramble dark fruit as it ages. The vinegar has a similar cherry note, in addition to deeper, aged oak flavors. For being a single varietal vinegar, it has surprising complexity and richness, while still managing to feel fresh. A striking floral nose and a wisp of wild rose essence make this vinegar truly unique. Interesting enough to use as an appetizer of its own - drizzled with olive oil for bread dipping.
A very special red wine vinegar, made in limited quantities.
Unfiltered. 4% acetic acid. 100ml Italian glass bottle with wood-topped cork closure.
