wine serving
What are the ideal serving conditions and drink window for this 2007 Keller Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Spätlese?
Serve chilled at 8-10°C. This wine is over 15 years old, so we recommend using a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener or an Ah-So opener to protect the delicate cork. While not strictly necessary, a brief decant of 15-30 minutes can help it open up. The optimal drink window is from now until 2030, possibly longer with proper storage.

What is the style of this Riesling Spätlese and what Asian dishes would it pair well with?
This German Riesling Spätlese from Keller typically offers a delightful balance of off-dry sweetness, vibrant acidity, and complex notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus, and a distinct minerality. It pairs beautifully with spicy Asian cuisine like Thai curries, Vietnamese spring rolls, or even delicate dim sum and sweet and sour pork.
