SPECIALIST WINE MATURATION CABINET
The Reserve range from Climadiff are specially created to closely mirror the conditions inside a traditional Chateau cellar. As such the range comes with the very latest technology in order to keep your wine away from sunlight (solid door), heat, (narrowly held temperature) humidity (automatically managed), odours (carbon filter) and vibration (dampening technology).
The climate classification and winter system allow the wine cabinet to also be kept in colder locations like garages, outbuildings and cellars too. The winter system contains an internal heating element and a much thicker layer of insulation than usual which helps with temperature regulation. The adjustable feet and castors allow for flexibility around the home.
NOISE AND EFFICIENCY
It's unusual for wine cabinets built for maturation to be this quiet (35dB) and also this energy efficient. The Climadiff range is well known in the industry also for longevity, so if you're looking for a wine cabinet that will last as long as some of your wines then the Climadiff brand is a great choice.
BOTTLE CAPACITY AND SHELVING
The internal capacity is rated at 180 Bordeaux bottles, as with all wine cabinet capacities, the introduction of many dissimilar shaped or larger format bottles will reduce the capacity. However, there are 4 wooden shelves within the unit and our tip for maximising internal capacity is to keep the same bottle shapes on the same shelves.
The 4 wooden shelves are all fixed, the RESERVE 275 and RESERVE 300XML also include one extra sliding shelf. There is also a carbon filter inside to stop any bad odours from developing in the unit.

PROS AND CONS - COOLERSOMM'S OPINION
