Storage
UNESCO Heritage Site: Shouson Hill Cellars
Our wine storage at Shouson Hill comprises individual, underground concrete chambers each with their own highly sophisticated climate control system. This allows us to achieve the perfect balance of temperature and humidity – unequalled in the sector.
This unique and uncompromising approach to wine storage is passionately provided by long-standing, highly-trained staff using the most rigorous security systems and procedures anywhere in the wine industry. Our facilities, track-record and reputation have resulted in Crown Wine Cellars being able to offer the highest level and most comprehensive wine insurance cover available in the industry.
Tuen Mun Facility
Our wine storage chambers in Tuen Mun have been modeled on the specifications of our Shouson Hill Cellars. In addition to emulating the high performing physical structures, the Tuen Mun facility has been designed with arguably the best security and safety systems available anywhere in the wine storage world. These include the first ever high-security wine vaults for ultra-high value wines.
Even temperatures, balanced humidity, zero vibration and controlled light exposure combine to provide a ‘text-book perfect’ wine storage environment and unsurpassed provenance.
We are recognized in the industry for consistently leading the way in security and management systems, and have become the first choice for virtually all the world’s leading wine companies. As a result, we take care of some of the most valuable and rare wine collections in the world.
