Her designs were based on the following briefs by Mac:

Rieslings – Going to be a bit of a chameleon by having one label that will be used for the sweeter and dry Riesling. Typically this wine for me represents a tall feline female. Intelligent, sexy, a little shy to start with but so very very seductive……And not as innocent as she first appears….  Will be more attractive with age.

Arneis - Classic Italian architecture… Balanced structurally. Pencil Pines, lots of green and whites. Stone colours.  

Rose - Think Provence ( France). The little Frenchman with the baguette and cheese. A long lunch and very very European…….Happy with its own lot and not needing to travel to have a sense of place or origin.

Barbera – Crazy Italian - Lively, energetic and very attractive…….. The area is northern Italy where truffles , skiing and football rule. Food dominates life. The wine is vibrant, textural and unusual…..

Shiraz- A large generous ‘big momma’ type figure. A little bit of facial hair but lots of love…... Very strong and tender all at once

Jeff Martin – Responsible for “hugh’ Label.
Jeff Martin is a painter based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Jeff’s work has been heavily influenced by his travels to Sicily, Italy. It has been during these trips that Jeff has observed a small fishing village off the North West coast and visually documented this dwindling industry, with particular reference to the persons at the core of this society.

This work in conjunction with Jeff’s love of food and wine (and previous involvement with the industry) suggested to Mac that Jeff was an obvious person to approach about bringing together a label titled ‘Hugh’. Mac and Jeff plan to work together in the future on a portrait series of labels. Jeff has an extensive range of works with two major exhibitions planned for 2007.
