The challenge

A wine label has to carry provenance, personality, and a reason to choose—all in a small space. For an established name, that means balancing continuity with a meaningful step forward.

The approach

Explore different ways to organize the brand’s heritage: the bridge, the name, the typography, and the relationship between label and bottle. Research and focus-group feedback informed the development, helping turn visual options into a considered conversation about the brand.
