Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine (such as a Riesling Trocken) maintain a temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve freshness acidity and flavor balance. Avoid temperature fluctuations that can damage the cork and accelerate spoilage. A consistent cool environment is crucial.
Light exposure should be minimized by storing the bottle in a dark place or using UV-protected storage because sunlight can deteriorate the wine's quality over time.
Seal integrity is important: the cork should remain moist but not overly wet. Avoid long-term storage in a regular refrigerator as it can dry out the cork causing oxidation. If storing longer term a wine fridge or cellar with controlled humidity is preferable.
Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist preventing it from shrinking and allowing air in.
Maintain humidity around 70% to keep corks flexible and prevent premature aging or spoilage.
For opened bottles reseal tightly with the original cork or a wine stopper and store refrigerated consuming within 3-5 days to maintain quality; oxidation progresses faster once opened.
No special storage considerations beyond these general white wine guidelines are indicated for Riesling Trocken.
