Those Kiwis with a designers eye will have spotted these beauties in the supermarket; turns out the calligraphic gems were the work of Hook based down in Wanaka with help from Peter Gilderdale.
The King Series wines were designed to celebrate an ancestral link to pirates operating out of Lundy Island in the 12th and 13th centuries. This is coupled with a pretty swift nod to the family’s rocky relationship with English royalty. It’s always nice to find out the story behind a brand.
Hook does not have a website at present but you can contact Chris at: chris@hook.co.nz
