Serving Temperature: If the bottle has already been aged for several years, we suggest bringing the wine to room temperature for half a day before serving. Uncork a few hours before drinking and serve at 18°C after decanting.

The grapes are harvested by hand between the last few days of August and the beginning of September. They are then laid to dry in special containers.

Ideal with stewed meat or rich pasta sauces, Sande also pairs well with mature cheeses. This is a wine that finishes an important meal in style and is perfect with a cigar.
