wine serving
What are the recommended serving temperature and drink window for this wine? Should I decant it, and what opener is best for older vintages?
This 2007 Riesling is best served chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F). It's approaching its peak or already there, offering complex tertiary aromas alongside its vibrant acidity. While not yet 20 years old, for any older wine, consider using a Durand, Ah-So, or Sovy Vintage Wine Opener to protect the cork. Decanting for 30-60 minutes can help it open up.
