wine serving
What is the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this 2002 Emrich-Schönleber Monzinger Frühlingsplätzchen Riesling Auslese? Do I need a special opener?
Serve this exquisite Riesling Auslese chilled at 8-10°C. This 2002 vintage is beautifully mature, likely in its prime drinking window now and can continue to evolve for many more years. Given its age, we recommend using a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener or an Ah-So opener to safely remove the cork.
