THE ART

In the realm of luxury wines, every detail is significant, particularly the fusion of artistry and viniculture defining our Cuvée collections, where packaging transcends protection, embodying identity and purpose, a bold statement of our commitment to distinction.

In our pursuit of excellence, we meticulously curate each collection, blending different wines with diverse artists whose creative energies harmonize seamlessly. For our esteemed Vinum Hereditas Collection, South African artist Matthew Hindley emerged as a beacon of inspiration, his modern landscape interpretations transcending the ordinary, weaving a tapestry of beauty and poetry.

Matthew's bespoke artwork, tailored for each wine and collectible box cover, encapsulates our terroir's essence and each vintage's spirit. Through vibrant colours, rich textures, and captivating narratives, his creations unveil our wines' hidden stories, inviting connoisseurs on an unparalleled sensory journey.

With profound understanding and artistic mastery, Hindley's contribution to our collection is exceptional. With every stroke, he celebrates South Africa's terroir's beauty and complexity, ensuring each bottle becomes a testament to the land's enduring legacy and allure.

"In a synesthesia of the senses, I wanted the first hint of the wine to occur before the bottle was even opened, through the colours and feelings that the label would spark in the mind and palette." - Matthew Hindley

COLLECTION COVER
