Spider Pig The Red Hog Syrah 2022
“ALWAYS go the Whole Hog ” … is what we say on the back of the bottle.
Our 9-Block grid was inspired by the 9 letters that make up the word SPIDERPIG. This design was the first of our SA Design Label awards and our creative curiosity in looking through the window to find 9 Letters that give the wine a personality relatable to the consumer. Further inspiration was brought in from a Graphic Designer who become famous in an iconic era, the 1990’s, her name is Paula Scher. Paula was a key figure in making topography cool with Broadway Posters showcasing the shows “Bring in da Noise, Bring in da Funk”.
THE RED HOG and going the WHOLE HOG, is a testament to the resilience of the Brand and the persevering its taken to bring it to the people. This is about not giving up and making sure you give it your all in order to reap success. Spider Pig Wines has always focused on ensuring we have a good quality wines, showcasing the cultivar we put in the bottle. We find good wines, give it a personality to make it easy to enjoy and share with whomever you wish.
