A!er resurrecting the "ree Chamber Still to create a
class of American heritage spirits not seen in nearly a
century, the Leopold Bros have turned their attention to
vinegar.
High quality red wine vinegar is a kitchen staple for
chefs and foodies around the world, and for our #rst
foray into the genre we started with the best, and most
vibrant red wine we could #nd. We had previously
partnered with Jill & Steve Matthiasson for our Sweet
Wermut project, so naturally we went directly to them
with our vinegar aspirations.
Matthiasson’s focus on organic viticulture and hands-on practices in the vineyard matches our own commitment to selective sourcing of base ingredients. In the case of our collaboration red wine vinegar, our goal was minimal intervention and preservation of the freshness found in Matthiasson’s red blend. Using the Schützenbach method, a slow, elegant process of producing vinegar that was nearly lost to time, we slowly trickled the Matthiasson red wine through beechwood infused with acetobacter. The month-long
undertaking steadily converted the existing ethanol into acetic acid, resulting in a bright and vibrant vinegar.
Try this in salad dressings, or drizzle on potato chips!
