History Sealed
An exceptional vintage in 2010 provided Hugh Hamilton with the fruit to fulfill his dreams of creating a pre-eminent wine and KSD the opportunity to collaborate and produce this truly hand crafted presentation for Pure Black.
With CEO, Mary Hamilton as the passionate key driver, we were inspired to design with materials that went beyond conventional borders.
The medallion was made of 3mm forged metal and tooled to suit the bottle surface. The centre was then sand etched to provide a textured background to contrast against the fine detail in the dimensional sheep. The entire medallion was then plated in Black Nickel.
High gloss wax was sourced from USA and each bottle was hand dipped before the medallion and back labels were hand applied using a purpose built jig.
Each bottle was then carefully placed into a gift box, slid into an outer sleeve and hand numbered. The box covering resembles fine soft leather, is lined with high density black foam and embellished with black foil stamping.
To launch the wine, 120 select members of their Black Sheep Wine Club were invited to attend and join the Pure Black Club. The function was held in the stunning Mortlock Library in South Australia and in Mary's words ... "The night was nothing short of amazing! We had 120 of our best customers, many who had come from interstate for the evening. People were totally bowled over by it. The wine tasted sensational. The sales were spectacular. Thank you for your support and everything you do with our business and our family."
One happy client - one very happy design company.
