Your wine is valuable and treasured aspect too important to risk being ruined by poor storage. Kennards Wine Storage provides the ideal environment for longterm storage to help it mature to its full potential. Our private cellars are ideal for all wine collectors, investors, wine merchants, restaurants and boutique wineries. We have a range of sizes so you can grow (or shrink) your collection easily. From as little as 8 cases up to many hundreds, all collectors are catered for.

Temperature Stability – Wine will prematurely develop if stored in an environment that has large temperature variations, particularly if these occur frequently. Wine should never be stored in temperatures that are too cold (under 12ºC) as this will inhibit the development of the wine. Similarly, wine stored in temperatures that are too warm (over 19ºC) will cause overly rapid development of your wine. Our temperature control systems ensure the wine cellar temperature is very stable.

Suitable Humidity –  If wine is stored in conditions that are too dry, the cork will shrink and cause leakage. Too moist, and mould and contamination may occur. Kennards Wine Storage maintains moderate humidity levels (55%-75%) to avoid these problems and assist in the optimum wine development conditions.

Movement & Handling – Wine is a sensitive and fragile product. Frequent jolts or vibrations during its development can be detrimental. At Kennards Wine Storage you control every movement or handling of your wine. You don’t have to worry about storemen or forklifts moving it, like in a managed warehouse operation. No one else has access to your wine, so all movement and handling is performed by you.

Light & Storage – Frequent exposure to light is not good for wine to mature. The Kennards Wine Storage Cellars are enclosed and only see the light when you are there. Again, when your wine is not under your control, who knows what light it is getting? Wine Bottles should be layed on their sides to keep the corks moist, help prevent cork shrinkage, and allow air to oxidise the wine.

Temptation Resistant – Undoubtedly, the biggest villain in premature consumption of your wine is you! Storing with Kennards Wine Storage removes the temptation from your home and will help you to preserve those treasured drops.
