A Once opened, this wine will begin to lose its intensity in a matter of a few days. For any wine not consumed, store in the fridge after replacing the screw cap, this will extend the life of the wine by a few days.
Q How should I store this wine?

Q Should I decant this wine?
A You don’t need to decant this wine, but any wine can be decanted. The reason for decanting is to aerate the wine. A lot of young wines can be tight or closed on the nose or palate. By slowly pouring the wine into the decanter it takes in oxygen which helps to open up the aromas and flavours.
