Quality of a wine is due to a long succession of stages, marked by an incessant obsession for quality. From the vine to pruning, through grape harvest or vinification, no step is to be neglected. This is how great wines are born.

If most of these stages escape the common run of people and remain the wine grower's matter, there is one which falls to each amateur: preservation, for optimal ageing of his finest wines.

Transtherm Cabinets, created in collaboration with the greatest oenologists, recreate, within beautiful caskets, the conditions found in the best natural cellars. Safeguarded in a Transtherm cabinet, your wines will take their time to mature and improve themselves for your greatest pleasure.

Constructed for quality materials and thoroughly inspected at all stages of production, our cabinets are designed to protect your wines against all external influences, while allowing them to mature under optimal conditions. Note that these cabinets have nothing in common with traditional refrigerators which generate an intense cold environment, which could dry out the corks and even worse, denature your vintage wines. our cabinets respect all conditions necessary to conserve and mature your wines.

Standard features of the Transtherm range include:

• Perfect Insulation -The walls of Transtherm cellars are made of three successive thermal barriers. This prevents odours from permeating the unit as well as providing shock resistance.
  

• Temperature Control - Temperature within the unit is regulated by the use of liquid bulb thermostats, which trigger either cold or hot circuits to correct any variation in temperature 
  

• Adapted Hygrometry - Bottle corks need specific hygrometric conditions in order not to dry out. The thermal pump, enables the cabinet to automatically obtain hot humid air. Natural condensation on the back wall records a hygrometric value between 55 & 80%
  

• Natural Ventilation - In order to avid the mould phenomenon, which would generate bad odours and risk deteriorating the corks, Transtherm cabinets have natural permanent ventilation, based on the same principal as the thermal pump
  

• Free of Vibration - Choosing slow and balanced compressors, as well as dissociating them from the cabinet's body, allows the cabinet to eliminate all residual vibrations
