Guidelines
Serve at around 16–18°C to keep the fruit, structure and freshness in balance.
Stand the bottle upright before serving where possible and decant gently only if needed to separate any natural sediment.
Allow the wine to open gradually in the glass and avoid prolonged aeration, as mature vintages can evolve quickly once opened.
