#LenzTipps: TAKing WINE’s temperature T
he right drinking temperature is very important, because the wine must not be too warm nor too cold. Several factors play a role, such as the quality level of the wine. A wine that is too cold is closed and generally rather restrained, while a wine that is too warm is alcoholic. Often, due to the warm wine, disturbing tones can be detected in the nose. Ideal drinking temperatures: Sparkling wine, Sekt 5-9°C Simple white wines 7-9°C Rosé wines 7-12°C Rich, bouquet-rich white wines (late harvest, selection), summer wines 10-12°C Edelsweet wines (berry selection, ice wines, dried berry selection) 12-14°C Light to full-bodied red wines 14-16°C Rich, bouquet-rich red wines
16-18°C
Important tips: Serve the wine a little bit colder than too warm, as the wine in the glass heats up quickly. In winter, the white wines can be drunk a little warmer, while the red wines can be served cooler in summer. the younger and lighter the red wine. the cooler it can be served. If red wines is still clearly too cool, then pouring into a warm rinsed carafe helps. Source: WEINKELLEREI LENZ MOSER Lenz Moser Straße 13495 Rohrendorf bei Krems Austria
