Storage advice
For red wine storage maintain a consistent temperature between 13°C and 18°C (55°F to 65°F) which supports balanced aging and preserves the wine's character. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can prematurely age or spoil the wine.
Store the bottle horizontally to keep the cork moist preventing air ingress that can oxidize the wine. Maintain a humidity level of 50% to 70% to protect the cork from drying out or mold growth; use a humidifier or dehumidifier if needed based on your environment.
Keep the bottle away from direct light especially sunlight and fluorescent lighting as UV rays degrade the wine's aroma and flavor compounds. A dark or dimly lit storage area is ideal.
Seal unopened bottles with their original cork intact. For opened bottles re-cork tightly or use a vacuum wine stopper to minimize oxidation and consume within a few days for best quality.
Avoid vibration and store wine in a stable cool place without frequent movement. Avoid temperatures above 21°C (70°F) or below 7°C (45°F) as extremes can damage wine.
These guidelines optimize preservation and aging for typical red wines such as those from Alentejano regions.
