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.
