Grape Magic

Traubenzauber, reduced white grape must from the Wertheim Sonnenberg for cheese, sauces and desserts

Traubenzauber is a sweet, fruity, concentrated syrup made from white grape must of the Müller-Thurgau variety. The must comes from the Wertheim Sonnenberg of the Alte Grafschaft winery and is gently reduced until a dense, glossy syrup with a fine character forms. A single drop refines mature cheese, hearty sauces and fine desserts.

Taste and aroma

Intense ripe white grape, sweet with a fine fruity freshness and a hint of honey. The reduction makes the aroma deep and syrupy without being cloyingly sweet – an elegant companion that lifts both savoury and sweet dishes alike.

How to use

Traubenzauber suits sweet and savoury sauces, mature hard cheeses such as parmesan or mountain cheese and as a topping over ice cream, yoghurt or panna cotta. Marinades and vinaigrettes also gain a fruity-sweet depth. Use sparingly, the syrup is concentrated.

Important: shake before use. Keep cool and dark after opening. The syrup goes a long way, a few drops are enough.
