Storage advice

For storing red wine like Syrah 2022 keep the wine at a consistent temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) ideally near 55°F (13°C to 15°C) to ensure balanced aging and prevent premature aging or muted flavors. Avoid temperature fluctuations and extremes above 70°F or below 45°F.

Store in a dark place away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting as UV rays can degrade wine quality. Use incandescent lights if lighting is necessary.

Maintain humidity between 50% and 70% to prevent the cork from drying out which can lead to oxidation. If the environment is too dry use a humidifier; if too humid use a dehumidifier to avoid mold and label damage.

Keep the bottle horizontally to keep the cork moist and airtight which minimizes the risk of oxidation.

For opened bottles re-seal with an airtight stopper and store in the refrigerator to slow oxidation. Consume within a few days for optimal quality since exposure to air will degrade the wine.

Avoid vibration and strong odors near the storage area to prevent disturbance of sediment and contamination of the wine's aroma.

In summary:

- Temperature: 55°F–65°F (13°C–18°C) steady and cool
- Light: Store in dark avoid UV and fluorescent light
- Humidity: 50%-70% for cork preservation
- Bottle position: Store horizontally
- Opened bottles: Re-seal refrigerate consume promptly
- Environment: Minimize vibration and odors

These recommendations help maintain red wine integrity and extend storage life effectively.
