(wild herb) gastrique
Charles is on the right track, but the term is commonly expressed in French:
Gastrique is a thick sauce produced by a reduction of vinegar or wine, sugar, and usually fruit. It is often served over meat or seafood to add a fruit flavor to the dish. It is made in its simplest form by caramelizing sugar and then adding vinegar.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrique
Gastrique
A thick syrupy sauce created by reducing caramelized sugar and wine or vinegar. A wine vinegar could also be used. It generally includes fruit which provides a fruit flavor. It can be served over any type of meat or seafood and is also used in tomato based sauces to counteract the acidity level.

Note from asker:
| Thanks to all and Merry Christmas! It's basically akin to the sweet-sour sauce recipe I know, except for the part in the Chinese version where cornstarch is added in the end, failing time for due reduction (restaurant cheats). |

sweet and sour sauce
OK, I'm going to stick my neck out and offer this as an answer. Refs. in discussion; viz. the cochinillo recipe link provided by Parrot and this definition posted by me:
AGRIDULCE.- Una salsa salada-azucarada, un gástrico, se consigue reduciendo vinagre de vino con azúcar. Se deja reducir hasta obtener jarabe, es decir cuando se evapora casi todo el vinagre.
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/elrinconin/trucos.htm
The wild herbs are for flavour, I guess, and maybe also to make it more gástrico (digestif)...?

Gástrica o gastrique
Mezcla de vinagre y azúcar reducida por la cocción a fuego suave. Su nombre deriva de jus gastrique, recordando el sabor del “jugo gástrico” [ugh!] La gastrique es una salsa agridulce que acompaña perfectamente el foie gras, cerdo, ciertos pescados, el pato y otras aves.

The alternative form gástrica throws up further refs.:
"En La Rioja no estamos acostumbrados a utilizar las uvas más que para el vino, pero en esta época deberíamos aprovecharlas también para la cocina», indica el restaurador. «Además, al añadir a la salsa de uvas una gástrica de vinagre, se consigue un final agridulce interesante que contrasta muy bien con la lengua de cerdo»."

It is gastrique, as Cindy says. Not listed in gastronomic sense under "gastrique" in the Trésor (which threw me off the scent), but not unknown even in French nevertheless; see
