No.1 Family Estate Blanc de Blancs Brut

- Serve Sparkling White chilled between 38-45°F in wide-bowled white wine glasses rather than flutes to allow aromas to open fully and enhance the experience.

- Present with a garnish of delicate edible flowers or a thin lemon twist on the rim for visual elegance and a subtle citrus aroma lift.

- Pair with crispy fried artichoke hearts or tempura vegetables with a light aioli dip to contrast rich oily textures with the wine’s acidity and bubbles.

- Create a mini tasting flight by serving alongside small bites of truffle mushroom ravioli smoked duck breast slices with plum sauce and butter-poached lobster tails to highlight savory richness that complements the wine’s creamy effervescence.

- Use as a sparkling wine base for a cocktail by adding a splash of elderflower liqueur and a few fresh mint leaves for a refreshing floral spritz twist.

- Host a brunch celebration featuring smoked salmon blinis topped with crème fraîche and finely chopped chives paired beautifully with the wine’s brisk acidity.

- Serve in a chilled coupe glass to evoke vintage glamour at intimate gatherings accentuated with a single fresh raspberry dropped gently into the glass for color and subtle fruit infusion.

- For a creative twist float a small piece of frozen ginger in each glass before pouring to impart a warming spice note as the ice melts slowly during sipping.

- Enjoy at an alfresco garden party accompanied by Middle Eastern mezzes like hummus baba ghanoush and za’atar-seasoned pita for a rustic yet refreshing pairing.

For optimal storage of this dry sparkling white wine:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles in a consistent cool environment ideally between 10°C and 13°C (50°F - 55°F) to preserve carbonation and flavors without risking freezing or spoilage. Temperatures lower than 3°C (38°F) may risk freezing; higher temperatures accelerate aging and potential quality loss.

- Light Exposure: Keep bottles away from direct sunlight and UV rays to prevent "light strike" which may produce off-odors. A dark storage area is best.

- Sealing: For unopened bottles ensure the original cork or closure is intact and the cork remains moist but not soggy. For opened bottles use a specialized sparkling wine stopper to maintain carbonation and minimize oxidation.

- Bottle Position: Store unopened bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist and airtight. Once opened keep bottles upright to limit surface area exposure and preserve bubbles.

- Humidity: Maintain storage humidity between 50% and 85% to prevent corks from drying out without causing mold growth on corks or labels.

- Stability: Store bottles in a vibration-free environment to prevent disturbances that can alter wine acidity and flavor. Avoid frequently moved places like a busy refrigerator; a dedicated wine fridge or cellar is ideal.

Both unopened and opened bottles benefit from stable cool dark and humid conditions. Opened bottles require prompt re-corking with appropriate stoppers and refrigeration to slow carbonation loss and oxidation ideally consumed within 1-3 days after opening for best quality.
