How Kramer Vineyards & Graphic Lime Creative Captured the Spotlight in WineBusiness Monthly

At Rose City Label, we always believe that exceptional products deserve labels that are equally extraordinary. That’s why we’re thrilled to celebrate Kramer Vineyards and Graphic Lime Creative, whose vibrant, eye-catching “Celebrate Series” was recently spotlighted in WineBusiness Monthly’s Pack Design Awards.

As President of Rose City Label, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with outstanding brands, helping them share their stories through beautifully crafted labels. The Celebrate Series is particularly special, bringing together modern aesthetics and lively character—perfectly embodying Kramer Vineyards’ spirit of celebrating life’s everyday moments.

The journey began with Kramer Vineyards’ desire to elevate their sparkling wines with labels that captured the fun and uniqueness of each varietal. Kim Kramer, winemaker and visionary behind the series, partnered with Rachel Tourville of Graphic Lime Creative to transform these wines into a unified, yet distinctly expressive collection.

Each wine’s personality is wonderfully captured in the design: bold colors inspired by past iterations, wraparound labels featuring striking vertical typography, and thoughtful imagery connecting directly to each wine’s story.

“The modern design is chic and eye-catching. This is the perfect example of how a series can be done beautifully.”

We’re incredibly proud to have printed these labels, and to see our partners recognized for their creativity and vision. It reaffirms our belief that a well-designed label is more than just packaging—it’s a powerful storyteller.

Congratulations again to Kim Kramer, Rachel Tourville, and everyone at Kramer Vineyards. We’re honored to be a part of your journey and excited to continue celebrating everyday successes together!

Rose City Label Wins First Place at 2024 PACK Design Awards for Best Classic Design

Rose City Label Wins First Place at 2024 PACK Design Awards for Best Classic Design

We are beyond excited to announce that Rose City Label has won First Place for Best Classic Design Format in the 2024 PACK Design Awards, hosted by WineBusiness Monthly!

The award was for our work on the stunning label for MB by Momtazi Bachinsky, a biodynamic Pinot Noir from Oregon. This elegant label, designed in collaboration with Rachel at Graphic Lime Creative, showcases the true artistry and attention to detail we pour into every project at Rose City Label. We’ve enjoyed working with Rachel on many projects; her creativity and vision always shine through. Her ability to capture the essence of a brand and translate it into a standout label is unmatched. This partnership allows us to deliver top-notch, award-winning designs for our clients consistently, and we’re proud to work alongside her. Cheers to many more shared successes!

The judges praised this label, calling it “beautiful, simple, and eye-catching,” and commended its pastel plate as one of the best they’ve seen. They also noted how the abstract art, which celebrates the flora and fauna of the vineyard, tells a story—creating an appeal that spans from a formal dinner table to a casual picnic. One judge remarked that the luxurious wax top and overall design make this $25 bottle feel like a much higher-end product. Another pointed out the back label’s attention to farming practices, adding to its credibility and appeal.

“This packaging is pure luxury with the artsy label and wax capsule and would be a standout in a $25 and under section. Other $25 bottles don’t look like this. I like how the back label explains the idea behind the label as well as shares their farming practices which are very important. Sold!”
