DORÉ Cider
A wonderful collaboration with graphic designer and packaging expert Eszter Csontos and her own brand, DORÉ Cider.
"Doré is a fresh Hungarian cider brand, a new alternative to sparkling wine, made from the perfect combination of carefully hand-picked hungarian appless. It comes in Dry and Extra Dry flavours. An important aspect of the design was the visual differentiation of flavours. I wanted to use accent colors to give a contemporary, modern feel, and to make a strong visual distinction between the flavors. The raw uncompromising nature of the Extra Dry is well symbolized by the purple color, while the Dry is a softer, warmer flavor that the sunny yellow color matches. With Doré, our goal was to create a perfectly balanced cider, inspired by our cider experiences in France, made from locally grown apples that we’d love to see in our own glasses. A cider that doesn’t travel across countries, reducing its environmental impact before it reaches us. In our orchards, we handpick the apples and rely exclusively on natural pest control methods."
