A French classic—made the slow AVW way
Tarragon Wine Vinegar begins with California chardonnay and fresh tarragon co-fermented for flavor that runs through the whole bottle, not just an infusion at the surface. After a year of slow fermentation and barrel aging, it lands bright and composed with that unmistakable anise-licorice whisper tarragon lovers crave. Limited release.
Flavor profile
Clean, vinegary snap with a subtle herbal licorice finish. Built for vinaigrettes and classic French sauces where you want lift without harsh edges.
Why cooks reach for it
Because co-fermentation is so much better than quick infusions. Co-fermenting chardonnay with fresh tarragon gives a deeper, rounder flavor and keeps the herb from feeling sharp. Perfect on salads, for pan deglazing, and anywhere a touch of French finesse belongs.
Quick ways to use it
Everyday vinaigrette: 1 part Tarragon Wine Vinegar to 2–3 parts olive oil with salt and a tiny pinch of mustard.
Sauce starter: Reduce with shallot and butter to nudge Béarnaise-adjacent pan sauces into focus.
Sheet-pan finisher: Splash over roasted chicken, potatoes, or mushrooms right before serving.
