American Barrel California Sherry Vinegar

Nutty, bright, and gloriously assertive American Barrel California Sherry Vinegar is a classic Spanish-style sherry vinegar with Golden-State swagger—made from California sherry, then patiently handled for layered depth and a clean, high-tone finish. It’s double barrel aged for real complexity, so vinaigrettes, gazpachos, roasted veg, and pan sauces taste composed, not sharp.  What makes it special The base sherry—Palomino and Pedro Ximénez grapes grown in California—rests in barrels at the winery for three years before it ever reaches our mill. We then slow-ferment using an early-1800s process we recreated, and age it again in a 25-gallon American oak. Because sherry vinegars run higher in acidity, that extra-slow fermentation mellows the profile while keeping a lively snap. Hand-bottled raw and unfiltered.  Flavor profile Classic sherry vinegar character with a nutty, acid-balancing note—great structure, no harsh edges. This is our highest-acid vinegar, and it shows up with poise.  H
