Storage advice

For optimal storage of white wine:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent cool temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). Fuller-bodied whites may be kept near the upper range (~50-55°F or 10-13°C) while lighter whites prefer the cooler end around 45°F (7°C). Avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent premature aging.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight and fluorescent light to prevent UV damage that can degrade the wine.

- Sealing: Ensure bottles remain tightly sealed with original cork or screw cap to avoid oxidation.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles on their side if cork-sealed to keep the cork moist and airtight. Screw cap bottles can be stored upright.

- Humidity: Maintain humidity around 70% to keep corks from drying out which helps prevent oxidation and spoilage.

- Opened Bottles: After opening reseal the bottle tightly and store in the refrigerator at about 45°F (7°C). Consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness as white wine oxidizes faster once opened.

No special storage considerations beyond these general white wine guidelines are indicated for this type of white wine.
