Storage advice
For storing Rosé wine optimally:
- Temperature: Store at a consistent temperature between 10°C and 12°C (50°F–54°F). Avoid fluctuations to prevent expansion and contraction that can degrade quality.
- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in a dark place away from direct light especially UV rays which can degrade color and flavor.
- Sealing: Ensure bottles remain properly sealed with intact corks to prevent oxidation. Maintaining humidity (ideally around 60%) helps keep corks moist and airtight.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork in contact with the wine preventing it from drying out.
- Humidity: Maintain relative humidity between 50% and 70% with around 60% ideal to avoid cork drying or mold growth on labels.
- Special Handling: Avoid shaking or moving bottles frequently to prevent disturbing the wine and accelerating oxidation.
For unopened bottles keep them in a cool dark and humid environment with stable temperature to preserve freshness until consumption ideally within two years as rosé typically isn’t meant for long aging.
For opened bottles reseal tightly and refrigerate. Consume within a few days to maintain optimal freshness. Avoid temperature fluctuations and excessive air exposure after opening.
