Best fresh. Enjoy while lively; little to gain from cellaring.

PERFECT PAIRING

"Sweet and sour dishes or cheese toast pair well, as the caramel sweetness bridges savory and sweet flavors."

Cook this: aged Gouda with dark bread, dark chocolate truffles, or crusty sourdough with butter, or a warm pretzel.

THE MONK'S NOTE

Pour it into a chalice, served around 10-14°C, and let its aromatics open before the first sip. Enjoy it fresh and lively; there is little to gain from waiting.
