Serving and Storage Questions

- Ready to drink? Our Chardonnay tastes best when it is chilled to 50-55 degrees F. We recommend you pull from refrigeration a few minutes before enjoying as it’s best served slightly warm to allow its complex aromas to shine!

Not drinking this soon? Store in a cool, dark place, ideally 57-62 degrees F, and on its side to protect it from damage and keep the cork wet. While this wine is delicious upon release, it will continue to develop for up to five years from the vintage date.
