The concept, Territorial Elixir, presents the oil as the essence of the olive tree, drawing inspiration from the world of perfumery where a product captures the pure character of its source.
The illustration system centers around a symbolic olive tree composition that converges toward a drop — representing the moment fruit becomes oil.
The label was produced using gold hot foil on deep green paper, enhancing the product’s premium character and reflecting the luminosity of the oil.")

This exclusive natural wine edition is born from a bold collaboration between Solo Spirit and Pivnica Čajkov. For this version of Queen Mom (now named Manka), we reimagined royalty through a contemporary, untamed lens; merging noble symbols with wild energy.
Concept highlights:
- Sword: A symbol of conviction. The winemakers as fierce guardians of their story, choosing integrity over ease.
- Crown & throne: Classic emblems of royalty, reinterpreted with visceral strength rather than ornament.
Visual treatment:
- Color palette: Deep reds and blues echo royal tradition, while grounding the label in bold emotion.
- Style: A vivid, modern expression; noble but never stiff, elegant but always alive.
- Illustration: A living label where tradition meets rebellion, refined lines meet wild roots.
This is not just a label. It’s a visual manifesto for a wine that honors its origin and dares to redefine it.")
