Equipment Selection

  • 7 x Vintec 120 Bottle Single Wine Cabinets (V160SGE)
  • Specially designed wooden shelves for laying bottles with labels facing and parallel to a glass door

This choice was based on the following points:

  • Can be set at a constant temperature of 12°-14°;
  • LED lighting that does not generate any damaging UV light and treated glass doors that limit outside light from reaching the bottles;
  • Have an anti-vibration system (wooden shelves reduce movement and a slow-cycling compressor is housed outside the unit on rubber shock-pads);
  • Maintain humidity levels, keeping the corks moist so as not to dry out;
  • All cabinets are equipped with a lock.

The decision to opt for independent climate-controlled cellars rather than a centralised refrigeration system was based on flexibility to be able to move the wine cellars easily in case of a new layout due to renovation.
