South Australian-based family-owned winery, Wakefield Wines, will release a rare, ultra-premium wine to celebrate 50 years of winemaking on 1st May, with standout packaging by drinks design specialist Denomination.

The wine celebrates the founding purpose of the South Australian family winemaker, which was to craft new world wines to rival those of the old world, particularly Bordeaux. Taking inspiration from these wines, ‘Wakefield The Legacy’ is predominantly cabernet sauvignon, with small parcels of merlot and cabernet franc. The wine hails from the exceptional 2014 Clare Valley vintage, which saw a long, cool ripening season ideal for cabernet sauvignon. Limited to just 1,080 bottles, this wine is also incredibly rare.

Wakefield Wines briefed Denomination to develop a unique commemorative package that would not only celebrate 50 years of winemaking but also the three generations of family that have built the business to where it is today.
