St Hugo drops second Daniel Ricciardo collaboration via Emotive
Pernod Ricard’s wine brand St Hugo has followed on the success of its first work from Emotive featuring Daniel Ricciardo, with the launch of a second DR3 collaboration with the Formula 1 star.
Ricciardo’s latest collaboration with St Hugo includes a new 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon and a 2020 Shiraz, as well as a limited edition ‘Ricciardo Decanter’ modelled on one of the Formula 1 driver’s racing boots, inspired by his famous podium ‘shoey’ celebration.
The contoured glass decanters were designed by industrial designer Andrew Simpson and his team at Vert using digital sculpting techniques refined over multiple rounds of prototypes. Handblown and moulded by Canberra Glassworks, each decanter required 5 artists to work simultaneously, producing a limited run of 1,100 decanters, priced at $700 a piece.
