Penn Croft

Creating branding, packaging and an ecommerce site for a conservation led vineyard

Overview

How do you capture the passion, the purity and craftsmanship of Penn Croft wine, in a brand?

That was the question we set out to answer when the talented and passionate team at Penn Croft approached us to help them launch their premium English wines. Applying our tried and tested immersive discovery process, we started off in the best place possible – a tour of the vineyard and winery followed by sampling their wines. They initially launched a beautiful Bacchus and a perfect Pinot Blanc.

Situated on the Surrey Hampshire border, we were able to spend time with their team understanding their deep knowledge of conservation, their small batch, low interventional approach and their ambitions.

The team has since launched, and sold, a number of  successful wines and are being shortlisted and winning awards regularly. You can buy their amazing wines from their website.

Key objectives

  • Create a premium brand identity to match the care and attention applied to each wine made.
  • Design a label and colour palette to work across different wine varieties.
  • Create labelling architecture to balance continuity and differentiation for future exclusive sparkling wines.
  • Design marketing materials for tours and events to establish the brand.
  • Design and build a simple to use ecommerce website using the Shopify platform
  • Enable audiences to purchase wine and tickets for vineyard tours.
  • Drive traffic to the site across emarketing and social media channels.

"Valiant has created a premium brand for PennCroft which has given our wines a sophisticated, stand-out on the shelf. We believe the presentation of the bottles represents our award-winning wines and has helped us secure contracts with The Pig Hotel Group amongst others."
