Smart Materials for Great Wines
A winery that blends tradition, innovation, and sustainability
Loading...The winery doesn’t just grow grapes organically; it was also designed to reduce its carbon footprint while offering ideal conditions for the cultivation and production of Malvasia de Banyalbufar, a nearly lost grape variety. The mineral composition of Ytong eliminates the risk of bacteria, mold, or odors, creating a clean and stable environment.
The ideal material for cellar construction
Perfect wine storage depends on perfect conditions, and Hebel AAC slabs rise to the challenge. Their ability to regulate humidity and air circulation ensures the richness and complexity of aromas are preserved during ageing. Their easy installation and large format enable to store excellent wines in a large scale.
With excellent fire resistance and optimal thermal performance year-round, Hebel slabs are more than a building material: they are a strategic choice for long-term cellar durability and performance.
Showcasing solutions at Vinitech in Bordeaux
Also smaller cellar projects are often realized with AAC products in direct cooperation with the winemakers. Xella's participation at the Vinitech trade show in Bordeaux allowed experts to connect directly with winemakers and builders in the industry. The message was clear: materials like Ytong and Hebel offer reliable, sustainable, and efficient solutions for winery and wine cellar construction.
Visitors were particularly interested in how these materials support long-term performance, ensuring stable conditions for wine conservation while standing up to the demands of daily operations. The positive feedback and real-life applications shared during the event confirmed that these solutions are not just technically sound but also a natural fit for the evolving needs of the wine sector.
A toast to innovation and craftsmanship
Whether in the vineyard, the winery, or the cellar, every detail counts. With Ytong and Hebel, winemakers are building spaces that don’t just support production, they elevate it.
