Storage advice
For optimal storage of White Wine (such as Albariño blends) maintain a temperature between 45°F and 55°F (7°C to 13°C) ideally around 50°F (10°C) to preserve its delicate aromas and freshness without accelerating aging or risking spoilage.
Keep the humidity level between 60% and 70% to prevent the cork from drying out which helps maintain a proper seal and avoid oxidation.
Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist and ensure a tight seal.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or UV light by choosing a dark storage area since light can degrade the wine prematurely.
Ensure the environment has stable consistent temperature without fluctuations as temperature swings can cause expansion and contraction of the wine and cork leading to leakage and spoilage.
Good ventilation and air quality help avoid mold and off-odors that could penetrate corks over time.
For opened bottles reseal tightly with the original cork or a wine stopper and store upright in the refrigerator at about 45°F (7°C). Consume within 1 to 3 days to maintain quality as white wine oxidizes more rapidly once opened.
Avoid storing white wine in overly cold conditions (below 40°F/4°C) which can mute flavors or above 59°F (15°C) which speeds aging.
In summary: keep white wine cool humid dark sealed well stored on the side (unopened) with stable conditions to best preserve its quality and shelf life.
