How to serve Ferrer Bobet Selecció Especial

Allow 95 minutes from open to pour.

  1. Open and decant. Open 90 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
  2. Serve at 16-18°C. Cellar temperature (16-18°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a large Bordeaux-style glass: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Roast milk-fed lamb with garlic and herb crust, Black truffle and potato terrine. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
