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 Mader

Alsace

Domaine Mader is a very small family estate in Hunawihr, the next village south of RibeauvillΓ© and one of the prettiest in Alsace. The domaine owns a little over ten hectares, including parcels in the Grand Cru vineyards of Rosacker at Hunawihr and Schlossberg at Kientzheim, along with Muhlforst, Haguenau, the gneiss soils of Burgweg at RibeauvillΓ© and granite at Rosenburg.

JΓ©rΓ΄me Mader took over from his father in 2005 and immediately began converting the vineyards to organic farming, gaining certification in 2007. He was also an early convert to screw caps: with the odd exception the whole range has been bottled that way since 2009.

Everything is hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed, fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel and aged on fine lees for six to eight months before a light filtration. A portion of the Rosacker Riesling and the gneiss-grown Burgweg goes into used barrels, as do the Pinot Noirs, which are raised in 600-litre casks. The Rieslings are made in a classic dry style built to age, and in exceptional years a tiny amount of Vendanges Tardives is picked in the same fine, elegant register. Around 5,000 dozen a year, from vines planted at 5,000 to the hectare.
