Exceptional wine often seems impossible. Cultivating first-class grapes and balanced blends is a painstaking process. Yet, with passion, dedication, & high technical expertise, it is possible since, as they say, “the power of love moves Mountains.” In Greece, a similar saying goes like this (roughly translated): “Mountain With Mountain can’t meet, yet everything else is doable.”

To launch this premium Retail-owned Brand white blend wine from Lidl Greece, agency Caparo DC borrowed a core part of the folk saying and used it for the label’s name: “Mountain With Mountain.”

Lidl Greece was working to upgrade its wine cellar image & scale its wine portfolio. The design brief required a final product that would stand out to attract consumers-wine lovers who don’t buy only following the best-price deals. At the same time, the look & feel should reflect an inclusive profile aligned with Lidl’s brand strategy—keywords: unique, mid-upper, local, and true to the product.

Solution

Like a mountain range, the custom-shaped label wraps around the bottle, providing stopping power. A name/title with storytelling attributes sets the base for the handmade illustrations to develop. Mountains & vineyards drawn with eye-catching strokes present the product’s roots & reflect its purity. Raw & detailed, natural & sophisticated: a balanced result similar to the delicate blend of the dry wine varieties.

Like a movie title or a book cover: the label sets a tone, creating an ambient vibe full of multi-dimensional connotations calling us to play and discover them. And isn’t it that exact same sense every sip of rare tasteful wine creates after all?
