- Temperature: Store unopened bottles between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) ideally around 55°F (13°C) for balanced aging and preservation of tannins. Avoid temperature fluctuations and extremes (below 45°F or above 70°F) which can harm wine quality.

- Opened Bottle Storage: After opening refrigerate the bottle upright with a proper wine stopper and consume within 3-5 days to best preserve quality.
