How to serve Orto Vi de Vila

Allow 65 minutes from open to pour.

  1. Open and decant. Open 60 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
  2. Serve at 14-16°C. Cellar temperature (14-16°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Grilled sardines with lemon and herbs, Pa amb tomaquet with anchovies, Catalan salad with tuna and olives. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
