| The basis for this elixir
is a sweet wine, certified as a dried berry harvest
(trockenbeerenauslese) of the type “Traminer”
from the vineyard Tschida in Apetlon, which has
been exclusively produced for us.
Production: This exceptional
wine gets injected with a special cultivated vinegar
bacteria. The fermentation takes place during
a constant control of the temperature and the
oxygen supply, to guarantee optimal living conditions
for the bacteria. During this vital stage of fermentation,
the vinegar brewer has to be present virtually
around the clock. After the fermentation has stopped,
the product matures for at least eight years in
small oak barrels.
Features: According to the law,
this product is not considered to be a vinegar,
since it contains less than 6% acidity. Therefore
we decided to call it
Noble-Sour “T”. Showing a very high
quality, makes this wine full-bodied and with
plenty of sugar remainders. This wine’s
natural sugar gets preserved during the acidic
fermentation. It is difficult, since the aggressive
vinegar bacteria like to affect the sugar. Thus,
a spirituous fermentation could take place, by
transforming the sugar first into alcohol and
then into acetic acid. The result would be a sour
slop. Only continuous adjustments of the temperature
and the oxygen supply lead to a harmony between
acidity (acetic acid) and sweetness (the wine’s
natural sugar). Of course, this product does not
contain any alcohol or any additives.
Application: Our sour result
is magnificent to be enjoyed on its own. Best
drink it out of a Grappa glass, either slightly
chilled or at room temperature – each to
ones own taste. We recommend to sip this delicacy
as a digestive instead of a liqueur or a snifter
– a worthy, alcohol free way to finish off
a delicious meal. It also is excellent on hard
cheese, over ice-cream or chocolate desserts.
For especially delicious sauces: add water to
the frying pan, loosening the crusty remains;
let evaporate; add desired stock to it; take from
the heat; mount it with cold butter and season
with a few drops of the
Noble-Sour “T”.
Available in 25cl (8.5oz) glass bottles, and in
