Designed for Vinarija Pajić, this five-year-old brandy is a quiet celebration of time, patience, and place. Created exclusively for the winery’s restaurant, it is not meant to be rushed or consumed casually, but discovered slowly, poured deliberately, and remembered. From the first encounter, the project invites a moment of pause—an appreciation of craftsmanship shaped by years rather than trends.
The visual identity is built around a simple yet meaningful gesture: vine branches forming the number five. Drawn directly from the vineyard itself, these branches carry both literal and symbolic weight. They speak of growth, seasonality, and the natural rhythm of the land, while subtly marking the brandy’s age. What begins as an organic element becomes a refined visual mark, translating the spirit’s maturity into a tactile and authentic expression. Just as the brandy evolves over time in oak barrels, the identity reflects a process of transformation through restraint and intention.
Warm amber tones dominate the palette, echoing the color and depth of the liquid itself. Subtle textures reference wood, earth, and time-worn materials, while restrained typography ensures that nothing distracts from the story being told. Every design decision is measured, allowing space for the product to breathe and for the viewer to engage on a more intimate level. The packaging avoids excess, favoring balance and clarity over decoration, reinforcing the idea that true quality does not need to announce itself loudly.
Rather than presenting the brandy as a commercial object, the design frames it as an experience—something shared at the table, poured among friends, and connected to place and memory. This project translates tradition into contemporary expression with sensitivity and respect, allowing the story of the vineyard, the passage of time, and the craft behind the brandy to speak quietly, yet with lasting presence.
