Wild Feline Inspiration for “Diamonds & Pearls”

For more than 100 years, the Wildner family has been passionately committed to viticulture in Nack, Rheinhessen. With the upcoming generational change, young winemaker Stefan Wildner is giving the winery a new face: distinctive, modern and with a certain fun factor. Stefan Wildners` wines are as headstrong and quirky as are the winery`s cats, the inspiration for this unique series of wine labels.

An eye-catching wine label design created in cooperation with Anne Stilper from design studio DAC-Design. During the initial brainstorming process, Anne and her team enjoyed many a visit to Stefan`s home at the winery, where they were accompanied by the Wildner Winery cats. And so “The Wine with the Cat” was born. 

With this unconventional label series, young vintner Stefan Wildner makes a bold statement that is neither boring nor conforming, just like his cats. Following a recommendation, MCC Bingen was chosen to be the experienced printing expert for label production. Not only for “Diamonds & Pearls” but for the entire label series iwhich includes a total of eight wines.

“Diamonds & Pearls” was digitally printed and beautifully finished using gold and silver hot foil fitting the imagery to precision. Final touches, in the form of tactile varnish “pearls”, completed the look and feel perfectly. The unmistakable wildcat eyes on both label and bottle capsule, now a Wildner trademark, round off this very successful branding, and one which stands out from the crowd.

And with the cats in mind, a well-known Kurt Tucholsky quote springs to mind: “Such a pity, wine cannot be caressed”.”
