Lang Weinessig Organic Vinaigrette Liese. Organic vinaigrette with Riesling, gentle acidity – the small bottle for tasting and gifting.
Lang Weinessig Organic Vinaigrette Liese is an organic vinaigrette from the Southern Palatinate: 63 percent white wine vinegar aged in oak barrels, plus Riesling, sugar, sea salt, and grape must, all organically grown. 180 ml, 4.4 percent acidity, gentle and refined. It is a vinegar-based preparation without oil and without herb blends.
Liese by Lang Weinessig is a vinaigrette for anyone looking for a light yet expressive dressing. The 180 ml bottle is the perfect size to get to know it: small enough for a two-person household, pretty enough for a gift bag, and large enough for many salads.
Riesling and barrique, gentle on the finish
Liese tastes of fruity Riesling and aged white wine vinegar, with a subtle woody note from the oak barrel. The acidity level is 4.4 percent, feeling delicate and restrained. It supports the dish rather than dominating it.
Sugar and grape must appear on the ingredient list, rounding off the acidity. The result is balanced: neither sharp nor sweet, but rather fine and elegant.
Those expecting a strongly spiced dressing with herbs or tomato will find Liese too subtle. It is intended for flavors that should not be masked.
The bottle brings the character of Riesling and barrique to your table without the need to cook an elaborate meal. A green salad in the evening, a vegetable dish at lunch: both become more elegant with just a few drops, and the small amount stays fresh in the cupboard until you need it.
Leaf salad, cucumber, vegetables, and a splash on fish
Liese is made for light dishes. Over fresh leaf salad or cucumber salad, a small splash is enough to bring out the aroma. Start with one tablespoon per serving and taste.
Other everyday uses: steamed vegetables, potatoes in their skins, creamy dips, marinades. A splash at the end over fish dishes or light meats adds lightness. There is no oil in the bottle; you add it to taste if you want a classic dressing.
The small bottle is also practical as a dressing base for a picnic or a snack: it fits into the basket, and a small dash is enough to season raw vegetables and potatoes.
Our tip: Test Liese pure on a slice of cucumber first. That way, you'll recognize how mild it is in five seconds and know how much oil you want to add.
Organic wine from the Southern Palatinate, vinegar from Gommersheim
Lang Weinessig is a manufacturer in Gommersheim in the Southern Palatinate, founded by trained chef Jens Michael Lang. Having learned and worked in star-rated kitchens, he has been producing wine vinegars, vinaigrettes, fruit balsams, and ready-made salad dressings for over ten years.
The basis for many products is wine from an organically certified winery in the Southern Palatinate. For Liese, the white wine vinegar ages for more than a year in barrique barrels and is then blended with a reduced, thus alcohol-free, Riesling. The Riesling and grape must are organically grown; the organic control number is DE-ÖKO-006. The result is a vinaigrette with personality, consisting of only a few ingredients.
Lang Weinessig calls the Palatinate the "Tuscany of the North": plenty of sun, even figs, and above all, wine. Liese brings this piece of the Southern Palatinate into a bottle that you can happily place on your table.
The bottle for tasting and gifting
The 180 ml bottle is suitable for households of one to two people, for getting to know the product, and for gifting. Those who make salads regularly and already know Liese can save with the Organic Vinaigrette Liese 500 ml refill.
A spicier companion to Liese is the Vinaigrette Doro with tomato, available in the same size. If you want to test all four varieties from the manufacturer side-by-side, choose the Vinaigrette Gift Set. You can find all varieties on the Lang Weinessig page.
Liese makes a great gift for people who enjoy cooking but don't yet have a vinaigrette with Riesling on their shelf. The bottle is handy and the contents are self-explanatory: white wine vinegar, Riesling, organic quality.
The 180 ml bottle is not suitable for those who dress large amounts of salad daily. For that, the 500 ml bottle makes more sense.
A fine organic vinaigrette with Riesling from the Southern Palatinate – in a 180 ml bottle for tasting, gifting, and for the small household.
