About Day One Wine Packaging

Day One is a wine label design created for a Chilean vineyard where the grapes are hand harvested. The label marks the moment when a winemaker decides to begin the harvest, a decision that shapes the quality and the character of a wine. The illustration shows harvest scissors among flowers, grapes and vine leaves. The design covers five grape varieties from different valleys. The labels are printed in offset on Fasson Cuvee Sable paper of 85 grams per square meter, with three special colors, matt gold foil, stamping and protective varnish.

Design Challenge: MontGras has developed a new brand architecture and positioning and, consequently, the need has arisen to create a new portfolio that is more attractive, relevant and innovative, as well as able to communicate the new positioning sought by the company. "Boldly Attractive", this has been our challenge.
Research: Research was conducted into harvesting tools, especially the harvesting scissors used in the MontGras vineyards when the Day One harvest takes place. Extracting from reality an image that represents this handmade work.
We researched different packagings that could speak about harvest, and Selected Harvest and vegan wines around the world, to produce a unique and original design.
Inspiration: Day One, Selected Harvest, is a design that pays tribute to the moment when a winemaker decides to begin the harvest: a decision that is fundamental to the quality, finish and character of a wine. A balance between sugar, acidity, and tannins. During this process, sugar is transformed into alcohol and, hence, the concentration of sugar in the fruit is key to start the harvest. The harvest scissors have germinated among the flowers that protect the grapes and vine leaves.
Project Duration: This project started in September 2020 in Santiago, Chile, and ended in January 2021.
Operation Flow: Day One's consumers are very widely spread, both domestically and internationally, in key markets such as Korea, China, USA, Chile, Canada, Denmark, Brazil, Japan and UK.
