When we came up with our labels we wanted to have something that was completely unique and made people want to pick up the bottle. I think we achieved this! We also wanted a name that would capture peoples attention and one that people could relate to. Who&#8217;s life (especially at the moment) isn&#8217;t organised chaos right?<\/p><p>One of the hardest things about using the name Organised Chaos was, how do we get that across in a 2 dimensional label. We worked with Arch MacDonnell and his awesome team at Inhouse design and they came up with a series of labels that were inspired by Italian visual optical artist Franco Grignani who famously designed the Woolmark logo. It fits the name perfectly, looking chaotic from a distance but up close, the design is just made up of straight lines organised to build the chaos.

I buy grapes from small growers who are extremely passionate about their vines and this shows in the wines. It means I pay more for grapes than most would for wines at this price point, but for me the proof is in the bottle. The Syrah and Chardonnay are not what I would call a &#8216;typical&#8217; HB style, but I believe they are styles the market wants.
