Red Wine Sauce

4 servings

30 minutes

Red wine sauce is a refined element of European cuisine that adds elegance and subtle depth of flavor to dishes. It has roots in classic French gastronomy, where wine is used to create rich and sophisticated sauces. This sauce features sweet-fruity notes from dry red wine and sugar, while lemon zest adds a fresh acidity. Its consistency is smooth and velvety due to potato flour. It pairs perfectly with meat dishes, especially roasted beef and duck, and can transform the taste of vegetable sides. It is served warm to fully release its aroma, complementing the meal with a noble hint of wine notes.
