Storage advice
For storing red wine:
- Optimal temperature: Keep unopened bottles at a consistent temperature between 55°F and 65°F (12°C to 18°C). For lighter reds like Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) aim for the lower end around 55-60°F (12-16°C). Avoid temperatures exceeding 70°F (21°C) to prevent premature aging.
- Light exposure: Store bottles in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light to prevent degradation of flavor and aroma.
- Bottle position: Store bottles horizontally so the cork stays moist preventing it from drying out and letting air enter.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity around 70% to keep corks from drying out which is critical for long-term sealing.
- Sealing: Unopened red wines are typically sealed with corks. Ensure corks are intact and moist by proper humidity to maintain an airtight seal.
- Opened bottles: Once opened red wine is exposed to air and will oxidize. It is best to re-cork and refrigerate opened bottles at approximately 40-45°F (4-7°C) to slow oxidation. Before serving allow the wine to warm to serving temperature (~60-65°F) by letting it sit out for about 30 minutes.
No special storage considerations beyond these general red wine guidelines are needed specifically for this type of wine.
