Heritage
There is no better place to lay down your fine wine than
Corsham Cellars. When we first came across the
vast underground complex, spread out deep beneath the hills of
Wiltshire, we knew we had found the perfect place to store the
world's finest wines.
The facility was procured solely for this purpose. With
continuous investment in the technology that maintains the optimum
storage environment, the security that protects it and the
personnel dedicated to the care of fine wine, Corsham Cellars has
built a world class reputation for fine wine storage.
Corsham Cellars has a history that is as interesting as the fine
wines it now stores. It was first quarried in 1868, and mined until
1934. Bath stone extracted from the site has contributed to some
wonderful pieces of architecture throughout the Commonwealth - from
churches to libraries, theatres to hotels.
In 1934, the Corsham site was taken over by the Ministry of
Defence and used as a munitions storage facility. It was purpose
built for this role and provided them with impregnable security -
it is extremely resilient and completely bomb proof. Located so
deep under the ground, and encased in solid Bath stone, nothing
could have given the fragile and sensitive contents better
protection.
These very qualities now make this place ideal for Octavian
Vaults. Corsham Cellars gives us a naturally balanced environment
for the storage of fine wine - here, perfect temperature is a
constant, and humidity is controlled at the optimum level. It is
also a facility where natural light is totally eliminated, where
vibration is non-existent and fresh air quality is maintained at
all times. Finally, its very nature and heritage affords Corsham
Cellars with unsurpassed security, keeping your priceless wines
completely safe.
