wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this wine?
This 2013 Ardoisières Quartz is an elegant white wine that benefits from proper serving. Serve chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F). While not strictly necessary, a brief decant of 30 minutes can help it open up. It is currently in its prime drinking window, offering complexity and freshness. For wines over 20 years old, an Ah-So opener is recommended, but for this 2013 vintage, a standard corkscrew should suffice.
