The cherry is featured twice, as boiled-down juice and as whole fruit, complemented by Pinot Noir, onion, and mustard for savory depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePinot Noir and Cherry Sauce\u003c\/strong\u003e is a savory sauce for hearty dishes from Lang Weinessig in the Southern Palatinate, available in a 175-milliliter bottle. The name \"Tunke\" (dip) is taken literally: it is thick enough for a spoon yet fluid enough to drizzle over a roast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDark fruit, tart and sweet at the same time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has an aroma of sour cherry and dark wine, and its taste falls right between sweet and tart, just as only sour cherries can achieve. Mustard and onion provide a savory base, turning it into a condiment rather than a compote. Sour cherries naturally have more acidity than sweet cherries, which is exactly what gives this sauce its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pinot Noir adds a velvety wine note, the cherry provides the tart core, and the grape must adds rounded sweetness behind it. Together, this creates a condiment that stands up to hearty dishes without overpowering them. It stays on the plate rather than pooling at the edges, which makes for easier plating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWith game, roasts, and on a cheese platter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sauce shows its strength when paired with game and venison, duck, dark roasts, and grilled meats. A spoonful added to gravy gives Sunday dinner a fruity depth, and it pairs perfectly alongside braised red cabbage, where it has belonged for a long time. It also finds its place with fried blood sausage or caramelized onions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServed cold, it pairs well with cheese—both soft cheese and aged mountain cheese—alongside grapes and walnuts. Game pâté also pairs well with a dollop, though a spoonful next to the venison is plenty; any more would overwhelm the roast.

At Lang Weinessig, both go into the bottle, which is the source of this sauce’s dual note: tart on the surface and sweet underneath. Together, they create a depth that a single juice could never achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pinot Noir is also boiled down so that its water evaporates, leaving the fruit flavor behind. Because the cherry already provides plenty of sweetness, the sauce requires very little else to become well-rounded. Furthermore, Pinot Noir is the classic red grape variety of the Palatinate, where cherry trees and vines often grow on the same slopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe cherry is the best friend of red cabbage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore the bottle in a cool place and shake it before use so that everything redistributes evenly. When serving with game, stir a spoonful into the gravy or serve it in a small bowl on the side. If you are serving a roast this winter, it belongs right next to the red cabbage and dumplings. After opening, the bottle should be kept in the refrigerator, where it will last for several weeks.
