COLLABORATION - CLOS MILAN 2018 FIRST RELEASE IN TEN YEARS - SAINT RÉMY DE PROVENCE FRANCE

It’s bottled, labelled and ready to be enjoyed! I’m very pleased with the outcome and so honoured to be featured on Domaine Milan’s 2018 C.L.O.S MILAN as their first international artist from Australia. I’m also very blessed that the original artwork done for the label will form part of their private Art Collection at the winery for all to enjoy.

It was extremely humbling to have Henri Milan fall in love with the work that I created for the label (In true French passionate fashion!) he commented that I very successfully captured… “the true embodiment of their philosophy behind their natural process with the work”…the philosophy they pride being a love in… “an organic farming approach, the harmony created by a biodynamic practice in the mind and the simple influences of the moon on the rhythms of the seas, of women and of men…” to produce their exclusive sulphur free wines that travel far and wide.

My collaboration with this gorgeous family owned boutique winery in the heart of the Alpilles has been one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences that I cherished whilst spending time in France on Art Residency. The experience and the connection to the very special community in Saint Rémy has brought me much happiness and new found friends that will be around for many years to come.

I look forward to returning to France one day soon to celebrate our union (of course drinking the fine wine!), continuing friendships and making many more.

Thank you to all who made this possible!

Mes sincéres remerciements! X

DOMAINE MILAN WINE COLLABORATION - SAINT RÉMY DE PROVENCE FRANCE 2020

Domaine Milan loves to share the love and I’m so excited to be apart of their passionate philosophy. I’m incredibly honoured not only be the first artist after a ten year wait to collaborate on their prestige 2018 vintage label, but I’m also the first ever Australian artist…that makes it pretty special!

The CLOS has traditionally been the label they share with artists. It’s so wonderful to be apart of this amazing heritage listed boutique winery’s history in the very heart of Saint Rémy Provence France. As the labelling machine punches away…Cheers to the first bottling in ten years! and cheers to it’s global distribution to places like the exclusive Living Wines specialists in Hobart Tasmania who will be stocking this amazing CLOS in the coming months. Stay tuned for more fabulous announcements about this unique organic biodynamic wine to be bottled soon.

Thank you to Henri Milan and his amazing team of family and staff for helping me (and us) get this far!
