Deilephila Elpenor

The Deilephila elpenor, first described by Linnaeus in the 18th century, is more than a moth — it is a living metaphor for transformation. Its caterpillar, with the strange likeness of an elephant’s trunk, evolves into a nocturnal being of rare elegance, fluttering delicately among flowers and shadows. A symbol of metamorphosis, beauty, and ephemerality, it reminds us that change is the true art of nature.

This spirit inspired our label: where fauna and botany intertwine, creating a visual language that is both sophisticated and daring. A design that speaks of creativity, freshness, and the fleeting brilliance that makes each moment unforgettable.

This packaging features hand-drawn illustrations with floral elements from Elpenor’s natural habitat. Each wine in the range is marked by a distinct Elpenor, bringing unique chromatic energy and vibrancy that reflect transformation and the cycle of life.

More than a label, it’s a visual identity that forges emotional connections beyond wine — a journey through nature and biodiversity, core to Julia Kemper’s philosophy as a producer of 100% organic wines.
