authentic vinegar is converted slowly over many months and gently from quality wines and with the starter (called the “mother”) in small oak barrels. Over two years in the making, Trio is crafted to mirror the classic Meritage wines where small lots of red wine varietals are blended to create wines with great structure and character. Trio vinegar is made this way by blending selected lots of Merlot, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. The finished vinegar has a lovely garnet color with nuances in the flavor of sweet ripe berries. Produced in small batches...quantities are very limited.
