Lang Weinessig Tunke Pinot Blanc & Apricot. Mild vinegar sauce to try – 175 ml.

Lang Weinessig Tunke Pinot Blanc & Apricot is a mild vinegar sauce from Gommersheim in the Southern Palatinate.

Fresh, fruity, and slightly creamy, sweetened with grape must and fruit, with no added refined sugar. In a 175 ml bottle for salads, dips, and grilling.

Tunke Pinot Blanc & Apricot by Lang Weinessig is a dressing, a dip, and a sauce, all in one bottle. A "Tunke" is a vinegar-based preparation with wine, fruit, and mustard that is thicker than a vinaigrette. According to the manufacturer, this variety is the mildest of the range and therefore a gentle introduction for those who want to get to know these sauces.

Mild, fruity, summery, and fresh

The sauce tastes fresh and fruity with a gentle acidity. The mild Pinot Blanc supports the apricot, while the white wine vinegar provides freshness.

Onion and mustard provide subtle seasoning in the background, and the consistency is slightly creamy. The sweetness comes from grape must and apricot. Compared to the Dornfelder sauce, it is light and delicate, and it pairs well with anything that has a light flavor profile.

The special quality is the balance: apricot and Pinot Blanc create a sauce that accompanies fish, poultry, and salad without overpowering them. It is the perfect variety for summer cooking, as the manufacturer emphasizes its summery freshness and fine fruit notes. It is also suitable for those who might otherwise be hesitant about strong, vinegar-based sauces.

A spoonful for salad, chicken, and shrimp

You will most likely use this small bottle for a quick salad, a piece of grilled poultry, or as a dip for raw vegetables.

As a dressing, stir one tablespoon of the sauce with one tablespoon of oil and a splash of water. This creates a sauce for leaf lettuce, cucumber, and fennel. It pairs particularly well with grilled poultry and seafood, as the manufacturer recommends it for light meats. It also goes well with Asian-inspired dishes such as rice noodles or stir-fried vegetables.

Then there is the classic way: bread, cheese, raw vegetables—just spoon it into a bowl and dig in. It is the simplest solution for a picnic or a snack with friends, as you only need bread and vegetables to go with it. A piece of cream cheese with a dollop of the sauce also makes a great little snack in between meals.

Our tip: Try a spoonful on grilled shrimp or pan-fried fish. The apricot turns a simple dish into a summer meal.

From Gommersheim, founded by a Michelin-starred chef

The base of the sauce consists of wines from a certified organic winery in the Southern Palatinate. Lang Weinessig is based in Gommersheim.

The factory was founded by trained chef Jens Michael Lang, who learned his trade in Michelin-starred kitchens. For over ten years, he has been producing wine vinegars, vinaigrettes, fruit balsams, and ready-made salad dressings. The ingredients for this variety include 28 percent Pinot Blanc wine, 18 percent white wine vinegar, and 11 percent apricots.

For trying, gifting, and for two

The 175 ml bottle is the right size for small households, for a first taste, and for gifts.

As a gift, the bottle is perfect for hosts who enjoy serving salads and light summer dishes. A bunch of herbs, a baguette, and this sauce make a lovely little souvenir that looks like summer. For a two-person household, it lasts for many salads, dips, and grill evenings.

If you would like to try all four varieties in the range at the same time, pick up the Sauce Gift Set. If you enjoy the apricot flavor and frequently eat salad or poultry, this variety is also available as a large 335 ml bottle for frequent users. For spicier dishes, complement it with the Tunke Dornfelder & Date. You can find all of the manufacturer's products on the Lang Weinessig page.

The sauce is not suitable for those with a mustard allergy, as mustard is an ingredient. And if you are looking for a strong sauce for beef or game, choose a darker variety.
