wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 2003 Weingut Keller Riesling Auslese? Should I use a special opener?
This 2003 Weingut Keller Riesling Auslese is best served chilled at 8-10°C. Decanting is generally not needed for sweet wines. Given its age (over 20 years), we highly recommend using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to safely remove the cork. This wine is drinking beautifully now and has the potential to age gracefully for many more decades, possibly until the 2040s or beyond.
