wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and ideal drinking window for this wine? Do I need a special opener?
For this 2017 Egon Muller Scharzhofberger Riesling Auslese, we recommend serving it chilled at 8-10°C (46-50°F). It is drinking beautifully now but also has excellent aging potential, capable of developing further complexity over the next 15-30 years. Given its young vintage, a standard corkscrew will suffice. No need for a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener yet.
