Wine enjoyment at home

After an extensive tasting, some thoughts on the Jordan family's wines.

There are all individual personalities in the bottles who need appropriate care and support in order to convince us with all their subtleties, peculiarities and differences to the highest degree and to convey the pleasure with which they are able to please us.

Enjoyment takes time!

Depending on the type of wine, you need to have convictions about how to handle it.

Is it enough to open the bottle at the right temperature, pour it into the appropriate glass and enjoy, or should that bottle be ventilated or decanted in order to keep the time in the air that is necessary for the perfect development of all its strengths To express.

So it is necessary to "prepare" the wine before starting to prepare the food. He will thank you later with the highest pleasure in the nose and on the palate and give the respective dish a seldom known harmony.

The correct handling of wine and food is one of the greatest joys of human life, whereby it does not matter what is eaten, but how you combine it with the wine.

To put it simply - a sandwich with chives and a fruity-spicy Grüner Veltliner like that Grüner Veltliner Pulkau | Weinviertel DAC can be just as much a feast as a pepper steak with rosemary potatoes and bacon beans with a top wine like that Zweigelt Reserve 42.

Since the tastes are always very different, there are almost no limits to the possibilities to look for and find new combinations. A challenge that is one of the most beautiful pleasure experiences. A lot of personal experience is very helpful.

With this in mind, I wish everyone who would like to celebrate the beautiful moments in life with a good glass of Jordan wine a lot of fun and many unforgettable experiences with the subtleties in the glass and on the plate.

With kind regards
