A 21st century eco-cellar
Our new cellar - completed in Spring 2009 - has many features that will help reduce our carbon footprint, including: the top of the cellar was covered with a living 'sedum' roof which adds insulation to the cellar, and allows us to capture rainwater for the washing of barrels and vehicles; clay honeycomb block walls which have a low carbon rating, excellent thermal
and sound insulation properties; 2/3rds of the ground floor has been built underground making the new 'Otter Cellar' cooler, so we have done away with electric chilling systems.
