Public Road Wines created a special, limited release of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and required labels that reflected the rebellious nature of their wine-making process. The intentional imperfection was a key design choice, aiming to break from the polished look of many wine labels. The style was designed to be a conversation starter and to appeal to a consumer looking for something daring and different. It subverts the traditional elegance of wine labels, suggesting a wine that might itself be unconventional, bold, and a humorous critique of the wine industry, implying a deconstruction or reinterpretation of the grape. It's rebellious and memorable.
