Storage advice
For optimal storage of the Sweet White (Jurançon Moelleux) maintain a cool stable temperature between 45°F and 55°F (7°C to 13°C) to preserve its freshness and aging potential. Avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent premature aging.
Store the bottle horizontally to keep the cork moist and airtight which prevents oxidation. Ensure the storage area is dark or dimly lit shielding the bottle from direct light that can degrade flavor and color.
Maintain moderate humidity around 60-70% to prevent cork drying or mold growth on the cork. Avoid vibrations and strong odors in the storage environment.
For unopened bottles these conditions allow storage for 1 to 3 years or longer if the wine has aging potential.
For opened bottles minimize oxygen exposure by re-corking tightly or using vacuum wine stoppers and storing upright in the refrigerator at about 45°F. Consume within a few days up to a week to maintain quality.
These practices will best preserve the Sweet White’s quality and longevity.
