Temperature
Cool, stable temperatures are ideal for slow maturation of wine with experts commonly agreeing that 13° is optimal. We are able to maintain a consistent average temperature range within +/- 1° ensuring peak conditions for maturity with the help of Italian cooling technology.
Humidity
Humidity levels of at least 70% relative humidity are optimal for wine storage, at this humidity, cork expansion occurs preventing oxygen from leaking into the bottle and causing oxidation; a major contributor to the overly bitter taste in poorly kept wines. At 13° our humidity control system maintains our cellars at the much-needed level, keeping wine in and oxygen out.
Light
Ultraviolet light can be very harmful to collections, even if exposure is only very brief. At 13° we block off all sunlight and use low-intensity LED lighting to ensure optimal aging conditions without any unnecessary heat.
Security
13° ensures the security of your investment. State-of-the-art alarm, lighting, and CCTV systems protect our cellars. For the utmost security, each locker is secured with an RFID access card as well as your own door lock and key. In addition, there is a security guard on site, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
