Ageing Tips
RQ wines, like most outstanding wines of
distinction, are meant to be enjoyed at
their prime. In order to do so, we would
like to suggest the following ageing tips:
| 1. |
Store
your wines on their side in a cool,
dark wine storage area (preferably
60-68ºF/15-18ºC) away
from any high-traffic zones. Exposure
to light and excessive movement
can result in premature ageing and
may also lead to early oxidation.
|
| 2. |
Investing
in good grade corks (like Altec™
corks) will also allow your wines
to reach their optimum maturity
safely. Adding an extra ¼
tsp of potassium metabisulphite
at bottling will also assist in
the ageing process without the risk
of your RQ wines oxidizing before
reaching their prime. |
We understand how anxious you are to taste
your RQ wines but do give it some time -
they will be worth the wait.
We can change all Oak and Sweetness amount to your liking. Please notify the staff when purchased.
All 'Made on Premises' prices include:
Corks, Labels, Shrink Caps, Taxes, and the
Brewing Fee
All products are covered by our 100% Satisfaction
Guarantee. |
