Penfolds' Team-Up With Visionary Behind BAPE & Kenzo Launches At Wine Connection Singapore
Street fashion meets wine making in Penfolds’ new modern collection – One by Penfolds. And this has just been officially launched at Singapore’s Wine Connection!
One by Penfolds is a curated collection of wines made around the world and designed in partnership with Tomoaki Nagao or better known as Nigo – the visionary known as one of the founding fathers of street fashion and founder of BAPE and Human Made.
This new collection celebrates the idea of 'oneness,' drawing on the unique characteristics of the winemaking regions – Australia, France, and America – from which these wines originate. Working alongside the diverse communities of each wine region, Penfolds' winemakers have created a global collection of wines for the modern palate. Yet, while each bottle captures the regional nuances of its birthplace, they are all unified by Penfolds' distinctive House Style: a medium-bodied, fruit-forward, and aromatic profile that's sure to please a wide range of palates. The collection also seeks to highlight the innovative and pioneering spirits of both Penfolds and Nigo -Penfolds itself has a nearly 180-year legacy of successful innovation in the Australian wine scene.
Nigo's signature style is unmistakable in the range of labels he designed for One by Penfolds. His three animal motifs – a crocodile, rooster, and bear – each represent a different winemaking region and add a playful touch to the bottles.
This collection is now exclusively available at Wine Connection in Singapore, practically a household name among the city’s wine lovers, known for its quality selection and reasonably priced bottles that are directly sourced from wineries.
