The 90 ha Nagygombos Winery is located in Nagygombos, in the a Mátra Wine Region. The chief winemaker is a young lady, Anna Barta. A new era has been heralded by the introduction of the refurbished product range and the new design.
„Ever since we have taken over the winery I have been thinking about different ways to reinvent Nagygombos, and I think that finally all the pieces have fallen into place. A lot of work has been done to renovate the vineyards, the wines, and the restoration of the amazing, listed central building is just about to start”, says Anna Barta summarizing recent developments. „The time has come to redesign the labels. The commission was given to Eszter Laki graphic designer and she came up with a youthful, refreshing imagery. The wine range has also been streamlined and now we can work following specific plans while I can still pursue some excitingly challenging experiments.”
The graphic designer
Eszter Laki, the graphic designer has taken part in many exciting projects ranging from books, through coffee shops and restaurants to cosmetic products and in fact she has been involved in the design of wine and beer labels as well.
„For the basic line my intention was to create an easily recognizable, clear-cut, minimalist style for the labels. The colours return repeatedly on the individual bottles, the motif representing half a button on the two labels – a reference to the winery’s name (’Big Buttons’) – forms one complete button when two bottles are placed next to each other”, describes Eszter Laki the composition.
„To use the image of a chaffinch as the main motif for the top of the range line was a joint decision with Anna. Chaffinches learn to sing from their fathers, and Anna is also indebted to his father for giving her the inspiration to become a winemaker.”
Premium quality is hinted at by the golden colour scheme and the unique, stamp-like cutting, while the closeness to nature is symbolized by the use of earth tones. Sharing ideas was an important part of the creative process, there was ample time to get to know the client which enabled the designer to come up with unusual design features and apply extra techniques.
