Ad Astra – A Wine That Looks to the Stars

Ad Astra comes from a quiet vineyard in the countryside, where the night sky is clear and full of stars. Inspired by this setting, the wine is presented in a custom-made tube shaped like a telescope. The design is not just for looks—it also keeps the bottle lying flat, which is the best way to store wine. This packaging is both practical and poetic, turning every bottle into a small journey from the earth to the stars.

Quinta das Carvalhas, a brand of Real Companhia Velha, is one of the most emblematic and spectacular properties in the Douro Valley. Written references to this magnificent vineyard date back to 1759, and its old vines, planted after the phylloxera outbreak, are now reaching the respectable age of one century. We designed the packaging for the wine range, with the tube featuring a black background adorned with intricate illustrations of flora and fauna, creating a luxurious and nature-inspired aesthetic. The text highlights the product's heritage, and the overall design conveys tradition, elegance, and a connection to nature, appealing to a sophisticated audience.

We’re thrilled to get this award for our wine packaging!
Huge thanks for the recognition!
