Transtherm Ermitage 182-Bottle Single-Zone Wine Refrigerator

The Transtherm Ermitage ER1TGV3-013-US is a premium, high-capacity wine refrigerator designed to recreate the stable conditions of a traditional wine cellar. With a 182-bottle Bordeaux capacity, single-temperature operation, full-glass door, 14 adjustable sliding shelves, integrated heating, electronic temperature regulation, and an advanced alarm system, the Ermitage is designed for serious wine collectors who want long-term wine aging and preservation in a freestanding cabinet.

Part of Transtherm's Prestige Ermitage range, this wine refrigerator is manufactured in France and combines a refined exterior with a purpose-built interior designed for wine storage. The cabinet provides a temperature setting range of 43°F to 64°F, with a default temperature setting of 54°F, making it suitable for both wine aging and service applications.

The full-glass door features UV protection to help shield wine from harmful ultraviolet light, while the insulated cabinet helps protect the collection from temperature fluctuations. The integrated heating element and automatic winter mode allow the unit to operate in ambient temperatures as low as 32°F, making it suitable for certain garages, basements, and other spaces that may not be continuously climate controlled.

Designed for Wine Aging and Service

The Ermitage uses a single-temperature environment designed for both wine aging and wine service. The adjustable temperature range of 43–64°F allows collectors to select the appropriate storage temperature for their collection or use the cabinet as a dedicated serving environment.

For long-term aging, the cabinet's controlled temperature, insulation, humidity management, UV protection, low-vibration operation, and stable air circulation work together to create conditions designed around the fundamental requirements of wine preservation.

182-Bottle Capacity with Full Sliding Shelves

The standard configuration includes 14 full sliding shelves. Each shelf is constructed from steel with a wood front and can accommodate up to approximately 12 Bordeaux bottles. The rolling shelves extend outward, allowing easier access to bottles toward the back of the cabinet without requiring the entire collection to be disturbed.

The standard 14-shelf configuration provides a capacity of 182 Bordeaux bottles. The cabinet can accommodate up to 234 bottles when configured with the appropriate storage shelving arrangement.

UV-Protected Full-Glass Door

The full-glass door provides visibility into the collection while incorporating UV protection to help shield wine from harmful ultraviolet exposure. The door is double glazed for improved insulation and includes a removable black stainless steel handle.

The door is reversible, allowing the hinge orientation to be changed to better suit the installation space.

Integrated Heating and Automatic Winter Mode

Unlike a cooling-only wine refrigerator, the Ermitage includes an integrated heating element. Automatic winter mode helps the cabinet maintain its selected wine-storage temperature when the surrounding environment becomes colder.

The manufacturer specifies an ambient operating range of 32–86°F (0–30°C) for the technical specification, with automatic winter mode providing additional protection against low ambient temperatures. This makes the Ermitage particularly versatile for installations such as basements and other spaces where ambient temperatures may vary.

Electronic Temperature Control

The Ermitage uses electronic temperature regulation with a sensitive-touch control interface and a white digital display. The display shows the actual internal temperature and allows the temperature setting to be configured in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.

The temperature can be adjusted from 43°F to 64°F (6°C to 18°C), with a factory/default setpoint of 54°F (12°C).

Wine Preservation Features

• Temperature Regulation: Maintains a controlled single-temperature environment for wine aging and service.
• UV Protection: Double-glazed full-glass door helps protect wine from harmful UV exposure.
• Integrated Heating: Helps maintain the selected temperature when ambient conditions become cold.
• Automatic Winter Mode: Automatically manages low-temperature conditions.
• Static Cooling: Uses static cold production for wine storage.
• Low Noise: Rated at only 37 dB(A).
• Insulated Cabinet: Uses 59 mm of polyurethane foam insulation.
• Aluminum Interior: Provides a durable interior cabinet surface.
• Visual Alarms: Temperature and sensor-fault alarms help alert the user to abnormal conditions.
• Locking Door: Helps secure the wine collection.

Lighting

Two white LEDs positioned beneath the control panel illuminate the cabinet interior. Lighting can be configured for off, on, or door-opening activation, allowing the collection to be displayed without requiring the lights to remain on continuously.

Cabinet Construction

The Ermitage combines a durable aluminum interior with high-pressure laminate exterior panels. The cabinet uses 59 mm polyurethane foam insulation to help maintain stable internal temperatures while reducing the transfer of heat between the interior and surrounding environment.

Flexible Installation

The Ermitage is designed primarily as a freestanding wine refrigerator. Transtherm's technical documentation also states that the cabinet can be installed as a built-in application when the specified installation requirements are followed.

Two adjustable front feet help level the cabinet during installation. Because this is a large 72-inch-tall wine cabinet, the installation location should be measured carefully before delivery to ensure adequate clearance for the cabinet, door swing, ventilation, and access.

Optional Shelf Configurations

The Ermitage platform supports additional shelving configurations for collectors who want to prioritize storage capacity or presentation. Optional shelf types include storing shelves, presentation shelves, and sliding shelves.

Alarm System

The Ermitage features a visual alarm system designed to help identify abnormal operating conditions. The alarm system monitors conditions including temperature and sensor faults, providing an additional layer of protection for the wine collection.

Quiet Operation

With a rated sound emission level of just 37 dB(A), the Ermitage is designed for relatively quiet operation. This makes it suitable for residential environments where minimizing appliance noise is important.

Ideal Applications

• Large residential wine collections
• Dedicated wine rooms
• Wine cellars
• Long-term wine aging
• Wine service storage
• Luxury residential installations
• Wine collector storage
• Basements and other variable-temperature spaces
• Hospitality and professional wine storage applications

Important Installation Considerations

The Ermitage is a large, heavy wine cabinet measuring 72 inches high, 27 inches wide, and 29 inches deep. Before ordering, verify that the unit can pass through all doorways, hallways, elevators, and stairways along the delivery path.

The manufacturer specifies the unit as freestanding, while built-in installation is possible when the applicable specifications are followed. Installation should provide sufficient clearance for the reversible door, controls, leveling feet, and proper operation of the refrigeration system.

Made in France

The Transtherm Ermitage is manufactured in France. Its combination of French manufacturing, high-pressure laminate construction, aluminum interior, wood-front shelving, electronic temperature regulation, and wine-focused storage design makes it a premium solution for collectors looking for a dedicated wine preservation cabinet rather than a conventional beverage refrigerator.

Warranty

The Ermitage is backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. Warranty terms should be reviewed with the manufacturer or authorized dealer for complete coverage details and exclusions.
