Storage advice

For storing red wine such as a Grenache Shiraz Touriga blend from 2021 follow these practical recommendations:

- Temperature: Store unopened bottles consistently between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) with about 55°F (13°C) often considered ideal for long-term preservation. Avoid fluctuations and never store above 70°F (21°C) or below 45°F (7°C) to prevent premature aging or damage.

- Light Exposure: Keep the wine in a dark environment away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting to prevent UV damage which can degrade flavor and aroma.

- Sealing: Ensure the cork seal remains moist and intact. Proper humidity (50% to 70%) is crucial to keep corks from drying out and shrinking which could allow air ingress and spoil the wine.

- Bottle Position: Store bottles horizontally to keep the wine in contact with the cork preserving its seal and preventing air from entering.

- Humidity: Maintain humidity levels between 50% and 70%. Use a humidifier if your storage environment is too dry or a dehumidifier if too damp to protect both cork integrity and label condition.

- Opened Bottles: After opening recork tightly and refrigerate at about 40°F to 45°F (4°C to 7°C) to slow oxidation. Allow the wine to warm to serving temperature (60°-65°F) before drinking.

These guidelines help preserve both unopened and opened red wines' quality and extend shelf life effectively.
