This gourmet tarragon wine vinegar is a clear expression of its base. You will experience a clean, vinegary snap with a subtle herbal licorice finish balanced by 6% natural acidity. Unlike industrial vinegars that rely on surface infusions, our flavors emerge directly from co-fermenting California chardonnay wine with fresh tarragon. This ensures a deeper, rounder profile that enhances your ingredients without harsh edges.

Modern vinegar production has gone too far by sacrificing flavor for speed. We have gone a different way by embracing the value of time to revive an authentic production method from 1823. Because the original machinery no longer existed, we engineered and rebuilt our custom fermenter by consulting historical records and partnering with local university craftsmen. We brew our small batches inside a historic New England textile mill blacksmith shop that sits proudly on the National Register of Historic Places.

It undergoes a full year of slow fermentation and oak barrel aging to land bright, smooth, and composed.

What does it taste like?

It features a clean, vinegary snap with a mellow, smooth body and an unmistakable anise-licorice finish.

What are the best uses?

It is built for everyday vinaigrettes, classic French sauces, seafood dressings, and as a sheet-pan finisher for roasted meats and mushrooms.

What are the specs at a glance?

It has a minimum acidity of 6%, an 8.5 oz glass bottle size with a built-in no-drip pourer, and is handcrafted in New England from a California chardonnay and fresh tarragon base.

Our Craft: A Modern Approach to a Traditional Art

Wooden fermentation vat and stainless steel tanks in facility — artisanal vinegar production

Great vinegars demand patience and precise conditions. We partner with local universities to custom rebuild 19th-century fermentation equipment, rejecting the rapid manufacturing methods of the 1900s. Our small-batch vinegars undergo two to three months of careful fermentation, followed by up to twelve months of aging in craft distillery oak barrels to develop rich, complex flavor profiles.
