Studio Lumistra Delivers a Contemporary Classic for Royal Hill Estate’s 2023 Collection

Studio Lumistra Delivers a Contemporary Classic for Royal Hill Estate’s 2023 Collection

Great wines deserve a great first impression. For its 2023 collection, Royal Hill Estate wanted a label that felt as refined and confident as the wines themselves—something that didn’t chase trends but stood strong on its own. The goal was not to create something entirely new but to refine what was already there. A thoughtful uplift rather than a complete reinvention. A label that doesn’t demand attention but naturally holds it.

Rooted in the historic Erdut region, where vines have flourished for over 300 years, Royal Hill Estate carries forward a legacy of craftsmanship while embracing modern expertise. The estate’s winemaking philosophy is about balance—honoring tradition while always striving for excellence. The new label needed to reflect that same mindset: timeless, yet contemporary. Elegant, yet approachable. A design that feels at home in the world of fine wines, with just the right amount of distinction.

Our design process was guided by simplicity and clarity. We focused on creating a label that not only looks beautiful but feels right for Royal Hill Estate. A design that speaks in quiet confidence rather than loud statements. Every detail—texture, typography, and finish—was carefully considered to enhance the bottle without overpowering it.

Fine wines tell a story long before the cork is popped, and a label sets the stage. It’s often the first interaction someone has with the bottle, shaping expectations before the first sip. That’s why great label design is never just decoration—it’s an extension of the wine itself. For Royal Hill Estate, this label is a reflection of its philosophy, an invitation to experience something crafted with care and intention.

The final result? A label that doesn’t just sit on the bottle but becomes part of the experience. A quiet statement of quality, a blend of heritage and modern refinement. One that truly speaks for itself.
