When to Drink Ferraton Pere et Fils Hermitage, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Ferraton Pere et Fils Hermitage when young, should be decanted at least 2-4 hours, give or take, allowing the wines to soften and open their perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

Ferraton Pere et Fils Hermitage is usually better with 10-12 years of cellaring and should be at its best between 12-30 years of age.

Ferraton Pere et Fils is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Ferraton Pere et Fils is best served with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised and grilled dishes. Ferraton is also good with Asian dishes, hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta.

The white wine of Ferraton is best served with a myriad of different seafood dishes, shellfish, crab, lobster, sushi, sashimi, chicken, pork and veal, as well as Asian cuisine.

From time to time, Maison Ferraton has produced a Vin de Paille. And as I mentioned earlier, they also produce a massive array of wine from various appellations all over the Northern Rhone and Southern Rhone Valley.
