When it comes to ageing wine, the vessel in which it matures plays a crucial role in the development of its flavors, aromas, and overall complexity. While standard 750ml bottles are commonly used for wine storage and ageing, magnum-sized bottles, such as 1.5L and 3L, offer several distinct advantages. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of ageing wine in these larger formats and why they are favored by wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Carlota Valente, a well-known ceramist from Arraiolos, has joined forces with Ravasqueira in an initiative to unite ancestral practices of the region. Wine and ceramics come together in a traditional programme that challenges visitors to put their hands in the clay, accompanied by good wines. You can book your workshop directly on the Ravasqueira site (minimum groups of 5 people).

A sommelier is a certified wine professional who possesses a deep understanding of wines and beverages. The term "sommelier" originated in France, where it referred to the person responsible for the selection, storage, and service of wine in a restaurant. However, the role has evolved to encompass broader expertise, including wine education, food and wine pairings, and assistance in creating exceptional dining experiences.

For wine enthusiasts, having the right accessories can greatly enhance the enjoyment and experience of wine tasting and serving. From opening a bottle with ease to preserving its flavors, the right wine accessories can make a significant difference.
