Bordeaux Flavoring

Bordeaux Flavoring captures the character of aged Bordeaux wine with rich earthy notes, dark berry depth, subtle oak, and light tannins. It delivers a bold, fruit-forward profile with a smooth, refined finish, giving recipes the character of red wine without the fermentation or alcohol associated with the beverage itself.

The profile goes beyond simple grape flavor. Dark berries, oak, earthy notes, and gentle tannins create the layered character that makes Bordeaux distinct, making this flavor particularly interesting for wine-inspired desserts, mocktails, sauces, chocolates, baked goods, and other specialty creations. It is part of OOOFlavors' Cocktail & Liquor collection.
