wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature, decanting time, and drink window for this wine? Should I use an Ah-So opener?
For this 2020 Kistler Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard, we recommend serving it chilled at 10-13°C. A brief decanting of 30-60 minutes can help it open up. The optimal drink window is from now until 2030. As the wine is relatively young, an Ah-So opener is not necessary; a standard corkscrew will suffice.
