Choose a cool, dark place, ideally kept around 12°C with minimal temperature changes. If you don’t have a wine fridge, a cupboard away from any heat source can work just as well. Lay bottles on their side to keep the cork moist; this stops air from entering and spoiling the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eServing Temperature for Reds and Whites\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you’re ready to serve, aim for 16-18°C for red wines and 10-12°C for whites. Too warm or too cold can mute the wine’s flavours, so a little temperature check can make a big difference. A brief chill in the fridge can help if your room’s a bit warm, especially for whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLetting Your Wine Breathe\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine Red wine and some white wine benefits from a bit of air after opening, allowing flavours to develop and soften. Decanters are ideal for this, as they aerate the wine and separate it from any sediment. If you don’t have a decanter, pour the wine into a jug or large glass carafe. Young, full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah gain the most from a quick decant, while lighter wines often need just a few minutes in the glass. This simple step enhances the aroma and brings out hidden notes, making every sip a bit more enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sottano-judas-malbec-2021","title":"Sottano, Judas Malbec 2021","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGet to know: Sottano, Judas Malbec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe flagship of Sottano’s range - rich, intense and endlessly impressive. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA powerful \u003cstrong\u003eMalbec\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cstrong\u003eMendoza’s\u003c\/strong\u003e high-altitude vineyards that balances bold fruit with elegant structure.
