wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and drink window for this wine? Should I use an Ah-So opener?
Serve this Egon Muller Riesling chilled at 8-10°C. Decanting is generally not required for Riesling, as its delicate aromatics are best preserved. The optimal drink window is from 2023 to 2040+. As this wine is not yet 20 years old (2013 vintage), an Ah-So opener is not necessary.
