Guarda de Leda
The essence of sobriety
Bodegas Leda is a winery, belonging to Masaveu Bodegas, whose peculiarity lies in putting the focus on being a producer of “multi-terroir” wines; wines focused on the premium segment, not restricted to one Denomination, but which seek to extract the best from the main wine regions of the area (Toro, Cigales and Ribera de Duero).
Against this background, the winery wishes to launch a new wine – an exclusive selection of 4,222 bottles defined by its selection, terroir and minimal intervention. A decision is hidden under the brand name “Guarda”; only an exceptional vintage will see the light, and not all vintages qualify for the “Guarda” denomination. This categorical measure requires the winery to be extremely demanding in its production.
From this definition, of what should be exceptional and demonstrate knowledge, we take the helm to construct a meaningful proposal.
Through the creation of the multi-terroir concept as a sum of the best of each estate, this wine condenses the maximum expression of those vineyards, exclusivity and barely any intervention.
Our approach is based on portraying the bareness of the Leda brand, the minimalist centre of the terrain’s orography as its confluence and epicentre.

GRAPHIC SOLUTION
A material proposal in which typography and textures take on special relevance and give depth to the concept which explores refinement and elegance through the use of classic calligraphy and a clean composition.
We also present the environment in which Guarda de Leda is produced, a micro-world filled with rows of vineyards, through an abstraction of the landscape in the focal point of Leda as a key element of the composition. This evokes the place from whence it originates, thereby avoiding the unnecessary and excessive.
We highlight the character of selection with a numbering on the neck band. A silk paper caresses the ensemble, further enhancing its special identity.
PRODUCTION
Within the simplicity that Guarda de Leda apparently reflects, it hides an important technical complexity when bringing several techniques together. We start with a cotton textured support, whose capacity of seduction stimulates the sense of touch in a unique, natural way.
Entirely organic paper, produced from cotton and recycled pure cellulose fibres, which is environmentally friendly with an FSC certification.
We add layers to this canvas such as embossing – which shows the vineyards in an abstract way -, a die – as a representation of brand bareness – , gilded stamped foil – to integrate it with the Leda brand – and we enhance Guarda’s exclusive character in serigraphic varnish, which gives it relief and raises it from the surface. A typographical numbering on the neck… Everything to serve to reinforce the product’s premium nature.
