Storage advice

For optimal storage of white wine such as an unoaked Chardonnay:

- Temperature: Store between 45°F and 55°F (7°C to 13°C) ideally around 50-53°F (10-12°C) to preserve its freshness and delicate fruit and floral aromas. Avoid fluctuations to prevent premature aging or cork failure.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light to prevent oxidation and flavor degradation.

- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist to maintain a tight seal. Avoid long-term storage in a regular refrigerator as it can dry out the cork. For opened bottles reseal tightly and consume within a few days to preserve quality.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the cork moist and airtight preventing oxidation.

- Humidity: Maintain humidity around 70% to prevent cork shrinkage and drying which can compromise the seal and allow air ingress.

- Special Tips: Avoid storing white wine near strong odors or vibrations that can negatively affect maturation. For opened bottles refrigeration and a proper stopper help extend shelf life up to 3-5 days.

These conditions help maintain the wine’s crispness aroma and structural integrity both before and after opening.
