This wine can be enjoyed young but will also benefit from aging, offering a drinking window through 2030. It pairs beautifully with lamb, grilled meats, or hearty vegetable dishes, complementing its vibrant profile. This vintage reflects both the precision and refinement that define Chave’s winemaking philosophy.
