Sileni Estates Wine - New Branding

Published: 18 January, 2007

"The new vintage Sileni Estates wines have been released with new livery. Whilst not a huge departure from the old label, the new look is very classy with the logo as a separate entity and branded screwcaps adding to the stronger shelf presence. The back label has also been revamped to now feature a Buyers Guide with less winemaker jargon' and more useful consumer information about food matching and cellaring - making it easier for the buyer to make the most of their wine purchase and giving them a slight education at the same time."
