Storage advice
For unopened white wine maintain a consistent cool temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) with the ideal range toward the lower end for Sauvignon Blanc style wines. Avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent premature aging or cork failure.
Store the bottle away from direct light preferably in a dark environment to prevent UV and visible light from degrading the wine's aromas and flavors.
Keep the bottle sealed with its natural cork intact to minimize oxidation risks.
Position the bottle horizontally to keep the cork moist and prevent it from drying out which helps maintain the seal and preserve quality.
Maintain storage humidity around 70% to keep corks from shrinking which can let air in.
For an opened bottle recork tightly or use a wine stopper to minimize oxygen exposure. Refrigerate and consume within 3-5 days as white wine can lose freshness quickly after opening. Avoid long-term storage of opened bottles at room temperature.
Avoid long-term storage in a standard refrigerator as it can dry out the cork due to low humidity and cause premature aging.
In summary:
- Temperature: 45-50°F (7-10°C) consistent
- Light: Store in dark place avoid sunlight
- Sealing: Keep cork sealed and moist horizontal storage
- Humidity: Approx. 70%
- Open bottles: Reseal refrigerate consume within days
These guidelines will preserve the wine’s freshness aroma and flavor over time.
