Serving

How to serve it, and what to expect in the glass.

Glass

Amber wine glass

A wide bowl with high walls: skin-contact wine is tannic like a red and needs air, but is served cooler.

How glass shapes differ

Serving temperature

12–14 °C

Amber wines behave like light reds: poultry, pork, hard cheese, walnut dishes.

Do not over-chill: below 10 °C tannins turn harsh.

This wine has no appellation on record, so the weather is taken for the region and describes the wider area. Zones sharing this grid cell: 2. Their weather does not differ in this data — the grid is coarser than the zones. Weather explains what the season was like; it does not rate the wine or say when to open it.
