Storage advice
For storing white wine including Sauvignon Blanc from the 2023 vintage in a 75cl bottle the following practical recommendations apply:
- Optimal Temperature: Maintain a consistent cool temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C). This range preserves the wine’s freshness and prevents premature aging or loss of aroma.
- Light Exposure: Store the bottle in a dark place or dimly lit area to protect it from UV rays and light exposure which can degrade the wine and negatively affect its flavor.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist to prevent air ingress that causes oxidation. Proper humidity (see below) helps maintain cork integrity.
- Bottle Position: Store the bottle horizontally to keep the cork wet with wine preventing it from drying out and shrinking which can lead to spoilage.
- Humidity: Aim for relative humidity between 60% and 70%. This range prevents corks from drying out while avoiding mold growth on labels and storage materials.
- Additional Tips: Avoid temperature fluctuations and vibrations as these can disturb the wine’s aging process or cause the cork to loosen.
For opened bottles recork tightly or use a wine stopper and store in the refrigerator at around 40°F (4°C). Consume within a few days to maintain quality as white wine oxidizes faster once opened. Avoid extended storage after opening.
These guidelines ensure that white wine retains its quality and freshness for optimal enjoyment.
