I worked with Wildehurst Wines since 2010, designing their range of wine labels. The original design, which was a painted badge created by an artist for the front facade of the winery. I then digitally recreated the logo text, scroll and badge for printing. We added a few elements such as the owner's beloved Schnauzer dogs, Aloes (which were prolific in her garden), and a bottom scroll to the badge. I love the playful nature, in contrast with the traditional symmetrical shapes, of the end result.
The Velo range of wines features an image of the owner's late husband and his friend on their Velo motorbikes in their youth.
The straw wine was a limited edition, like most of their boutique range of wines, and had a size of 330ml instead of the standard 750ml. To reflect the unique and quirky style of the talented young winemaker at the time, we flipped the bottle label on its side.
The Méthode Cap Classique, which is the South African version of Champagne, has a clear adhesive label with metallic gold, creating the effect of clear glass.
