Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Domaine AndrΓ© Kientzler

Alsace

The Kientzler family has been growing vines around RibeauvillΓ© for more than five generations. Dominique Alphonse Kientzler inherited vines from his father and grandfather in 1866, and in 1895 helped found what became France's first winemaking cooperative in the village, running the local grocery shop at the same time. The domaine today is in the hands of Thierry Kientzler.

Fourteen hectares are farmed across RibeauvillΓ©, Hunawihr and Riquewihr, with holdings in four Grand Cru sites: Kirchberg de RibeauvillΓ©, Geisberg, Osterberg and a small parcel of Schoenenbourg at Riquewihr, alongside the Muhlforst lieu-dit at Hunawihr. The Geisberg terraces are the jewel, one of Alsace's fifty-one Grand Crus and among its smallest, with only a handful of owners.

The aim in the cellar is purity and mineral definition rather than richness. Ferments run in temperature-controlled stainless steel, some spontaneous and some inoculated, usually without malolactic, and the wines rest in tank on their lees for eight to ten months before bottling. Vines are planted at 5,500 to the hectare and the vineyards have been certified organic since the 2023 vintage. Production is about 5,500 dozen a year.
