CREATIVE COLLABORATION

Renowned New Zealand wine brand, Brancott Estate, has partnered with emerging UK designer Benjamin Craven to design four limited-edition labels for its Brancott Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2018. The latest design partnership by the Marlborough-based wine brand sees Benjamin bring to life the region’s landscape, as well as the lively flavours and bright aromas of the ever-popular sauvignon blanc variety. Of the designs, Benjamin says, “I wanted to bring the Brancott Estate personality to life with vibrant colours and my contemporary style, using distinctive geometric shapes.” The 2018 vintage was awarded gold at both the New Zealand International Wine Show 2018 and the New Zealand Wine of the Year Awards 2018.

Patrick Materman, chief winemaker at Brancott Estate, says, “Brancott Estate is known for creating wines that are fresh, vivacious and bursting with flavour. It is exciting to see how Benjamin has interpreted the wine flavours using pinks and yellows, as well as capturing the geometry and contrasting colours of our vineyards in Marlborough, New Zealand. Our wines taste as good as they look.”
