Serving
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.
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.
Low-sulfur wine: sediment and slight haze are normal, not a flaw. Store below 16 °C.
Goes well with
- Cheese
- Poultry
- Pork
- Walnut dishes
