Pixie: A Meeting of Earth, Time, and Visual Enchantment
Pixie is more than a wine. It is an ethereal expression of all that nature holds as invisible, enchanted, and deeply vital. Its name evokes a small magical creature—a forest fairy, associated with the spiritual world of nature, the ancestral wisdom of plants, and the creative force of the universe. It is also the affectionate name given to the muse who inspired this unique wine project, born under the principles of biodynamic agriculture at Quinta da Nossa Senhora da Conceição, in Évora, Alentejo.
This wine arises from an intimate connection with cosmic rhythms. The vineyard is cared for in harmony with lunar cycles, using practices that respect and enhance the vitality of the soil and the energy of ecosystems. Biodynamics is more than an agricultural method—it is a philosophy that sees the earth as a living organism, a system in constant dialogue with the sky and the stars.
It was this concept—the interplay between the visible and the invisible, the organic and the spiritual—that gave rise to the design of the label. The visual identity takes shape in a minimalist, delicately dreamlike composition. At its center rests a small fairy upon a surreal fruit: a symbol of fertility, of dream, and of raw matter transformed—a visual metaphor for biodynamics itself, where subtle, natural forces meet to generate something greater.
Every graphic element was designed to evoke the lightness of the ethereal world while also conveying the depth of natural cycles. The soft color palette, discreet typography, and symbolic illustration create an atmosphere of contemplation and mystery. This label does more than communicate the wine—it invites a sensory ritual: opening the bottle becomes a poetic gesture, a silent toast to the invisible energies dancing between the fertile earth and the starry sky.
Pixie is, in this way, an ode to enchantment. A project that unites wine and design in a coherent and emotional narrative—an invitation to intuition, delicacy, and imagination. Through this visual creation, the brand offers a pause, a celebration of that which can only be felt when we truly learn to see.
