Storage advice
For storing white wine such as Torrontés Riesling maintain a temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve freshness and aromatic qualities as cooler temperatures help retain crispness and prevent premature aging. Avoid temperature fluctuations which can degrade wine quality.
Keep the bottle sealed tightly to prevent oxidation. If opened reseal with a proper wine stopper and refrigerate; consume within 1-3 days to maintain optimal taste.
Store the bottle horizontally to keep the cork moist preventing shrinkage and air ingress.
Place the bottle in a dark environment away from direct light especially UV rays which can damage wine and alter flavors.
Maintain humidity levels around 70% to preserve cork integrity and prevent drying out which helps maintain a tight seal.
Specifically for white wines a dedicated wine fridge or cool dark cellar space is preferred for stable conditions. Avoid warm and overly dry or damp places.
For opened bottles refrigeration is essential and try to minimize exposure to air by using airtight seals or wine preservation systems.
