The storage of white wine
Store your white wines optimally - for more unique maturity aromas, harmony and depth
White wines such as Riesling, Grüner Veltliner or Chardonnay gain complexity and finesse through optimal storage. Particularly high-quality white wines such as Burgundy, German Riesling or Wachau Smaragd wines benefit from ageing. Under the right conditions, they develop tertiary maturity aromas, balance and depth of flavor.
Why is the correct storage of white wine crucial?
Fresh white wine is sensitive to temperature fluctuations, light and dryness. Improper storage can have a negative impact on the maturing process, cause unwanted aromas due to wine defects or oxidize due to low humidity. With the optimum storage solutions from Wine Wallet , your white wines mature under ideal conditions and develop their full potential.
Tips for the perfect storage of white wine
- Constant temperature: The ideal long-term storage temperature for white wine is between 12-16°C. Temperatures that are too high and above all variable can have a negative effect on the ageing process, while temperatures that are too low slow down the ageing process.
- Humidity: Ensure a constant humidity of around 60-70% to keep the cork intact and prevent oxidation.
- Storage position: Ideally, store the white wine horizontally so that the cork of the wine does not dry out.
- Light protection: White wine should be protected from direct sunlight and strong light, as UV light can negatively affect the aromas and taste.
- Clean environment: When storing white wine, ensure a clean and odorless environment. Corks can absorb negative odors and labels can be damaged by careless storage.
