HARVEST 2023 & GRAVEL ROWS RELEASE

Each year, harvest at Ram’s Gate marks a turning point—a celebration of season, soil, and craftsmanship. We were invited to document the 2023 harvest and support the highly anticipated release of their single-barrel vineyard expression, Gravel Rows. This limited-edition wine deserved a story that was just as intentional as the process behind it.

Our Approach

We embedded ourselves in the rhythm of the vineyard, documenting early morning picks, golden-hour cellar work, and the hands that guide each step of the journey. Through photo and video, we aimed to bring viewers into the heart of the winemaking process—highlighting both the beauty and grit of harvest.

Simultaneously, we crafted the visual campaign for the Gravel Rows release, developing styled imagery that reflected the wine’s elegance and minimalism. Earth-toned palettes, natural textures, and soft light served as the visual language for the launch, balancing refinement with grounded authenticity.

“I can’t stop thinking about the project you just completed for us—I’m truly blown away. The videos and photos brought me so much joy. No one has ever captured what we do so beautifully, and I’ll treasure that for the rest of my life. Thank you both.”
