While modern and contemporary designs have their own allure, traditional and classic cellar designs have enduring charm. The interiors of traditional wine cellars are predominantly crafted from timber, offering a stunning visual appeal. The natural beauty of timber provides a calming effect, it is beautiful and versatile making it functional. Timber offers a classic look that provides the warmth richness that goes well with traditional cellar design styles. The use of timber in wine cellars dates to ancient times, the earliest known timber wine cellars were built by the Egyptians in the 4th century BC. These cellars were made from cedar, and they were designed to keep wine cool and humid.
Classic cellars possess a timeless quality, making them a preferred choice for many customers. Traditional cellars are elegant and majestic, embodying a design concept deeply rooted in wine culture. Their rustic, well-worn appearance appeals to many wine enthusiasts. At Signature Cellars we recommend traditional or classic wine cellars for those seeking an authentic, old-school wine cellar experience and ambience.
Your custom-made wine racks will be hand-crafted from high-quality western red cedar in our workshop here in Sydney. This timber is strong and lightweight, with an attractive colour and grain. Its softer texture helps prevent label damage. The natural tannins in the wood make it resistant to moisture and mould, making it ideal for the high-humidity environment of a wine cellar without requiring staining or lacquering. Additionally, it has a pleasant and distinctive aroma.
Contemporary wine cellars are ideally suited for modern homes and come with sophisticated systems to monitor and control the environment. When it comes to contemporary wine cellars, we use modern materials, designs, and techniques to give the cellar the signature contemporary feel our clients want.
