The Seber Altube Basque school in Gernika want to inspire and motivate the people of their region to take pride in their linguistic heritage: 80% of the local population speak Basque and whatsmore in numerous dialiects, adding to Basque's colourful language mix. It could be said that as well as laying claim to the diverse and protected Urdaibai nature reserve, the Basque region of the Busturialdea is in itself a biosphere for the Basque language.

We chose to lose the vibrant colours from their own label in place of colours and tones that reflect sensations. The old wine label used a lot of gold, but the wine itself is fermented and aged in steel tanks, so we opted for a compromise between the two and had the label and foil printed on...
