The Cellars
underground chalk cellars in Berkshire
The Perfect Conditions
Not too hot, not too cold, not too bright. The humidity in our cellars is fairly constant as is the 12°C temperature and with no sunlight or vibrations to disturb the wine, every bottle stays in tip top condition. Storing wine is an art in itself – one that comes naturally to our underground chalk cellars in the heart of Berkshire.
From Mine To Wine
Our cellars started life as a chalk mine. In the Second World War, they were converted into an aircraft factory. And in the early days of the Cold War, they were used as a top-secret, highly classified bunker.
Our chalk mine cellars have even been featured in Midsomer Murders!
Check out the British Pathe news bulletin on 'Undercover Factories' which gives some interesting insight into the rich history of our Old Chalk Mine.
