A closer look at the Echolands Winery Grenache label. Printed on Allure Starlight from Wausau Coated Products, Inc, the label uses a soft pearlescent finish to add dimension to the layered artwork and subtle movement as the bottle catches the light. The material supports the topographic pattern without competing with it, helping the color stay crisp, the linework stay sharp, and the full label feel bright, detailed, and tactile in hand. A great example of how the right paper choice can elevate an already expressive design. And gorgeous design work by @pembrokestudios.

We are excited to introduce a new stave toast profile, Mineral Toast, designed to bring an enhanced sense of minerality to white and rosé wines. This innovative toast profile significantly impacts the sensory characteristics of wine, influencing its interaction with fruit and other elements during the winemaking process. Minerality in wine is often attributed to specific terroirs, rooted in the soil and environment where grapes are grown. While traditionally linked to the vine’s interaction with soil minerals, minerality can also be shaped by winemaking techniques—including the use of oak. Mineral Toast staves utilize carefully selected French Oak air-dried over an extended period. The wood undergoes hot water treatment to soften tannins and reduce harshness, followed by extended toasting at a lower temperature. The gentle process avoids the formation of high notes such as spice, smoke or char, resulting in a delicate profile featuring hints of vanilla, stone fruit,
