The original structures were constructed almost 70 years ago by the British Military to serve as an ammunition and weapons storage depot in preparation for World War II. The site was originally known as the Central Ordinance (Munitions) Depot, and included 24 underground Bunkers, of which only 8 remain.
Owing to their intended purpose, the Bunkers are located approximately 20 meters below ground with 2-meter thick concrete walls. Despite these excellent natural cellar attributes, Crown has gone one step further by introducing state-of-the-art computer-controlled equipment to provide the ultimate cellar environment.
"We store your wine in a perfect replica
of the cellar in which it matured for the first critical years
after bottling nothing more and nothing less."
In order to assist the serious collection and future trade of wine, bonded as well as duty paid facilities are available. Wine may therefore be cellared for as long as required and then re-exported without paying duty.
