Storage Instructions

To keep this lavish Port at its quintessential best, it is crucial to store it between 15-18 degrees Celsius. Ensure it is shielded from direct sunlight or any intense artificial light. Maintaining a humidity of around 70% would prevent the cork from drying out and preserve the Port’s pristine condition. Always stack the bottles upright and avoid any vibration or unnecessary movement.
