Bodegas Gallegas Sentidiño Rías Baixas Albariño

- Serve chilled at 45-50°F (7-10°C) in a slender white wine glass to highlight aromatic complexity and fresh acidity.

- Present with a citrus twist: garnish the glass rim with a thin slice of grapefruit or a sprig of fresh lemongrass to subtly enhance the wine’s natural citrus and herbal notes.

- Pair creatively with citrus-marinated shellfish ceviche accentuating the wine’s refreshing acidity and palate-cleansing ability.

- Serve alongside lightly grilled saffron shrimp or scallops with lemon butter sauce plated on a slate board for an elegant touch that echoes the wine’s coastal origin.

- Offer a tapas pairing featuring herb-infused olives Manchego cheese wedges and almond-stuffed piquillo peppers to complement the wine’s bright mineral character.

- For a unique cocktail twist blend chilled Albariño with fresh cucumber juice a splash of elderflower liqueur and a spritz of sparkling water; serve over ice with a cucumber ribbon garnish.

- Ideal for alfresco summer occasions or beachside dining where its crispness refreshes and balances light herbaceous fare.

- Alternate serving suggestion: chill slightly warmer (around 55°F / 13°C) to reveal richer stone fruit flavors and pair with roasted white meats dressed in aromatic herb sauces.

For optimal storage of white wine:

- Temperature: Store unopened white wine at a consistent cool temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve its crispness and flavor. Avoid temperature fluctuations which can damage the wine and cause premature aging.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light to prevent degradation and off-flavors.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle lying on its side to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and allowing air to enter.

- Humidity: Maintain a moderate humidity level ideally around 70% to keep the cork in good condition and avoid shrinkage.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle remains sealed with the original cork. Once opened reseal with a wine stopper and consume the wine within a few days as white wine oxidizes relatively quickly when exposed to air.

- Additional tips: Avoid storing white wine for extended periods in a conventional refrigerator as prolonged cold can dry out the cork. Use a dedicated wine fridge or cool stable environment. Chill opened bottles to about 45°F before serving to preserve freshness.

For opened bottles tightly reseal and store in a refrigerator at around 45°F and consume within 2-3 days for best quality.
