Grenache Noir
Brand Concept and Execution
A tropical taste of a crafted grenache. A peek into the fabled vineyards of Southern Italy. A touch of the sunlight from Sierra Hills, California.
To introduce a new collection of grenache wines to market, a client needed a distinct brand concept. In response, I developed the concept Femme Locale - a mysterious hostess who invites consumers to discover treasured wine secrets from around the world. The following spec content includes the brand foundation and shelf execution.
