Liebherr are renowned worldwide for premium refrigeration. With their first refrigeration line unveiled in 1954 they have since become Europe’s largest manufacturer of premium refrigeration. But their passion for refrigeration appliances didn’t stop there.
In the 1980s Liebherr expanded the manufacturing process to include an extensive range of wine cellars. Today Liebherr offer single, dual and triple storage solutions that are specifically tailored for wine. When it comes to premium wine storage, Liebherr is the only choice.
Armed with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the wine storage industry, in July 2008 Liebherr introduced a new range of wine cellars – Barrique by Liebherr. This year we will celebrate the Barrique single zone wine cellars 10th anniversary. This range was released with the intent of making investing in wine storage affordable to all wine aficionados. Liebherr did this without compromising on key elements pertinent in the premium wine cellar range. Elements which are imperative for precision temperature and maturation of wine.
So what makes a Liebherr wine cellar different from a fridge?
There are five principal points; Constant Temperature, Ideal Humidity, Perfect Air Quality, Vibration Free and UV Protection.
Constant Temperature
Liebherr wine cellars maintain precise temperatures between 5°C to 20°C. Minimising temperature variance is vital when it comes to long term storage to ensure wine is aged correctly.
Ideal Humidity
Liebherr wine cellars guarantee ideal conditions for the suppleness of the cork and the prevention of oxidization, with ideal humidity between 50% – 80% depending on ambient humidity.
Perfect Air Quality
Liebherr wine cellars have an activated charcoal filter to assist in maintaining perfect air quality which is decisive for preserving and maturing wine. Natural untreated beech wood shelves are also important as there are no chemical aromas introduced into the environment which can influence the wines flavour. Perfect air quality also reduces the instance of mould on corks and labels stored long term.
Vibration Free
To prevent wine from being disturbed all compressors are mounted on ‘isolation blocks’ designed to absorb vibrations.
UV Protection
Whilst selected models feature a solid door, all Liebherr glass door wine cellars are tinted and double glazed to prevent harmful ultraviolet rays causing discolouration to labels and unwanted reactions to your wine.
