Preparation & Serving
1. Chill
Place the bottle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to bring the Viura to an ideal temperature between 8–12°C (46–54°F). If you need to chill quickly, submerge the bottle in an ice bucket filled with ice and cold water for 20–30 minutes.
2. Inspect the bottle
Check the label to confirm vintage (2023) and region (Castile). Inspect the cork or capsule for damage and ensure the bottle is clean and free of sediment on the neck.
3. Open the bottle
Use a waiter’s corkscrew or appropriate opener. Remove the capsule, wipe the top of the bottle with a clean cloth, and extract the cork smoothly. If the wine is sealed with a screwcap, twist open and wipe the rim.
4. Decide whether to decant (optional)
Most young Viura wines are fresh and aromatic and do not require decanting. If the wine has any slight reduction (closed aroma) or you prefer a slightly more open aromatics, pour a small amount into a decanter and let it rest for 10–20 minutes.
5. Select glassware
Choose a white wine glass with a narrower bowl to concentrate aromas. Ensure glasses are clean, odor-free, and at room temperature or slightly chilled.
6. Pouring
Pour a tasting pour (30–60 ml) for each guest first if you are tasting, then subsequent pours of 120–150 ml per serving. Hold the bottle at the base, tilt the glass slightly, and pour smoothly to produce minimal splashes. Wipe the bottle rim between pours to avoid drips.
7. Tasting & serving notes
Observe the wine’s pale straw color with possible green hues. Swirl gently and inhale to detect primary aromas typical of Viura—citrus (lemon, lime), green apple, pear, and subtle floral or herbaceous notes with possible mineral or almond nuances. Take a small sip, evaluate acidity, body, and finish. Serve at 8–12°C. Offer water and light tapas (cheese, olives, nuts) as palate companions.
8. Storage of opened bottle
If not finished, re‑cork the bottle or replace with an inert wine stopper and refrigerate. Consume within 2–4 days for best freshness; Viura’s bright acidity will help it stay pleasant for several days.
