“Launch of french red wine from Languedoc-Roussillon with total antioxidant level > 3mmol/100g.

For this wine we wanted to concentrate on its advantages, leaving the wine as the protagonist trasmitting quality and credibility through real and verifiable information instead of using austere traditional elements (i.e. coat of arms) achieving a fresh yet contemporary impact.

The antioxidants in wine are found in the skin, seeds and the stem of the grape. We decided to visualize this technical information through a drawing inspired by a late 1800 french botanical encyclopedia.”

“A number of aged wine with the names Ampeloeis Gold and Ampeloeis Silver.

Two red wines, matured with 100% and 50% respectively;-aging in oak barrels the winery had to have an elegant, respectively, while “heavy” label to identify precisely what it offers, a fine wine for those who know how to choose.

“Although often called ‘koala bears,’ koalas are not bears at all. They’re actually marsupials, or pouched mammals. And like most marsupials these pouches are mainly used to hold bottles of wine. So, when Koala Ranch Wineries asked us redesign the labels for their wine, they wanted a look that was as simple, inviting and cuddly as the koalas who drink it.”
