This wine label created by the design firm De Kleine Wijn Koop is playful and intricate. Most wines are guilty of being packaged in pretentiousness, but that is not the case with this South African brand of vino entitled 'Debutant.' With all the mind-bending twisting angles of an M.C. Ecsher piece, the Debutant label has a style that hearkens back to the deeply symbolic works of the Flemish renaissance.
As homage to its place of origin, rolling fields are visible within the mass of details that characterize the bottle. Speaking to the uniqueness of the package, Debutant wine was released in a limited run producing only 600 bottles. To give their product that personal touch, Debutant numbered all their bottles by hand.
The work of De Kleine Wijn Koop successfully captures the brand’s exclusivity while still exuding a relaxed feeling of an everyday indulgence. For some, (if they were lucky enough to snag a case) this wine could indeed be your average night cap, but for most, this laid-back treat is a once-in-a-lifetime luxury.
