Storage advice
For optimal storage of red wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C). Lighter reds such as Pinot Noir tend to do better at the lower end of this range around 55-60°F to preserve delicate flavors. Avoid fluctuations and never exceed 70°F to prevent premature aging.
- Light Exposure: Keep bottles in a dark environment to avoid light exposure which can degrade the wine by heating the bottle and causing chemical changes.
- Sealing: Ensure bottles are sealed with their original cork or proper closure; the cork prevents excessive air ingress that causes oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist and prevent it from drying out and shrinking which could let in air.
- Humidity: Maintain a humidity level around 70% to keep corks from drying out and to prevent mold on labels and corks; not too dry nor excessively damp.
- Opened Bottles: Once opened red wine should be re-corked and refrigerated (around 40-45°F / 4-7°C) to slow oxidation and preserve freshness bringing it back to serving temperature (~60-65°F) before drinking.
No specific additional storage instructions are required beyond these guidelines for this type of red wine.
