New Label Design
We have trialled a new label layout . This is the first of our profile series and Maggi reluctantly agre
e to be the model for the new look. Seeing we have put her on the wine she chose as the best in the range, we are very pleased with the result.
Now we will look around for other photogenic people who will be asked to add their photo to the rogues gallery on other labels. I have my eye on one or two members of the family and a couple of friends whom I think would enhance our labels.
The really nice thing about a boutique wine company is we have only ourselves to please. We don't have to answer to a Board of Directors. The benefit to you is that our overheads are lower so you can purchase excellent wines at very reasonable prices.
Case for Stelvin caps
Why has the use of Stelvin closures become more evident in the market?
In simple terms, we producers, care about the product that we provide to the consumers, and want them to be presented with a wine that is as the Winemaker originally intended.
What are the differences that Stelvin Closures make?
The Stelvin Closure eliminates any threat of ‘cork taint’ (TCA in technical terms) and prevents premature oxidation in the bottle; both of these being serious threats to the quality and longevity of any wine. The inherent inert nature of the closure allows the wine to develop in the bottle in a more consistent manner.
As noted winemaker and author James Halliday says: “Some people have the idea that the development of wine with a Stelvin closure will be artificially arrested. Not so: there is sufficient oxygen in the wine and in the head space to allow that part of development that requires oxygen to take place. And – what is more – much of the development takes place anaerobically (ie; without oxygen )”.
The advantages of using Stelvin closures are:
· Total confidence that you will receive wine in premium condition – alive, abounding with flavours and a pleasure to drink.
· No bottle variation – each bottle of a given wine will be just as good as the one before.
· Elimination of cork taint and similar mould flavours that can contaminate wines bottled with other closures.
