wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and drinking window for this wine? Should I use an Ah-So opener?
This 2016 Egon Müller Riesling Scharzhof is best served chilled at 8-10°C. While already enjoyable, it has excellent aging potential and can be cellared for another 10-20 years. As it is not yet 20 years old, a standard corkscrew should suffice; an Ah-So opener is not strictly necessary.
