Its bold fruit and subtle spice make it a perfect match for grilled meats, such as a juicy steak or lamb chops. The wine's earthy notes also complement roasted vegetables and hearty stews. If you're in the mood for cheese, try pairing it with aged cheddar or Gouda. Its fruit-forward profile makes it a delightful accompaniment to dark chocolate desserts.
The ideal serving temperature is around 16°C, allowing the wine's aromas and flavors to fully express themselves. Since this wine is ready to drink, there is no need for decanting before enjoying it.
