Cellaring & Serving Considerations
Bottle Position
Store wines on their side, allowing the cork to remain moistened.
Temperature
Constant temperature between 12 and 16 °C is preferred.
Humidity
Ensure controlled humidity at 50 - 80%.
Light
Avoid direct sunlight during cellaring.
Ideal Serving Temperature
White wines 12 - 14 °C.
Sauvignon Blanc 12 °C.
Chardonnay 14 °C to allow flavours to open up fully.
Red wines served at 16 - 19 °C.
Consider your ambient temperature when serving wines.
Decanting
Younger wines Decant for one to three hours prior to drinking,
depending on the style of the wine.
Older vintages Decant ten minutes prior to drinking.
We recommend Riedel Decanters for optimal serving.
