wine.co.za, Anri Steyn
Meet Michae, one of the talented @stellenboschacademyofdesig3386 students behind The ZA Project. Her label design is a tribute to the people of South Africa – diverse, resilient, and deeply connected.
Illustrated through four hands gripping a vine, Michae’s artwork represents the strength found in togetherness and shared growth. Each hand reaches from a different direction, shaping the vine into a “Z” for ZA, with new leaves sprouting to symbolise how growth is never achieved alone – we shape it, and it shapes us.
A powerful reflection of unity, collaboration, and the spirit of South Africa – captured in one design, one bottle, and one story.
