CRÓNICA

ABOUT

The CRÓNICA sparkling Vinho Verde label was designed by HLDESIGN to capture the essence of a classic yet unconventional wine. Produced in Portugal, this sparkling wine reflects the region’s rich tradition while embracing the dynamic and creative personality of its winemaker, Daniel Gomes. The challenge was to balance timeless elegance with a bold, artistic touch, conveying both the refinement of the wine and the irreverence of its creator.

SOLUTION

To achieve this, the label features a light green background, evoking the freshness and vibrancy of Vinho Verde. A hand-drawn portrait of Daniel Gomes takes centre stage, reflecting his passion and playful spirit. The typography merges classic sophistication with a contemporary twist, enhanced by silver foil embossing and spot UV varnish, adding texture and depth to the design.

One of the key details is the subtle illustration of sparkling bubbles, delicately incorporated into the label to symbolise the wine’s “bubbliness”. These bubbles interact with the winemaker’s glass, reinforcing the connection between the wine’s energy and his creative vision. The outlined typography in silver and gloss varnish enhances the premium feel, catching the light at different angles and making the label truly stand out.

RESULT

The final design seamlessly blends tradition and originality, creating a memorable and distinctive label. The CRÓNICA sparkling Vinho Verde stands out on the shelf, inviting consumers to enjoy a wine that is both rooted in heritage and bursting with personality—just like its winemaker. The interplay of classic aesthetics, artistic expression, and sophisticated finishing techniques results in a label that is as vibrant and unique as the wine itself.
