Manzwine wine honours Ericeira with winning label
30/07/2025Manzwine has just launched “Jagoz” wine, a tribute to the town of Ericeira and its strong maritime identity, with a label created as part of an artistic competition involving more than 60 participants.More than just a graphic element, the label was chosen through a public vote that took place between 17 March and 19 April 2025, following a competition open to artists.
Although only 10 finalist proposals were initially planned, the high quality led the organisation to select 30 labels for voting. The works were exhibited in Rua Dr Eduardo Burnay, in the heart of Ericeira, accompanied by synopses and biographies of the artists, and are also accessible online at manzwine.com/jagoz-nascido-na-terra-criado-no-mar. The public vote contributed 20% to the final decision, while the remaining 80% was awarded by a specialised jury made up of experts in design, oenology and local representatives.
The winning design, by artist Ana Sofia Conceição, was chosen for authentically representing the soul of the jagozes, the name given to Ericeira’s inhabitants. The vote strongly mobilised the local community and wine lovers.
The official launch took place with the support of the Mafra City Council and the Ericeira Parish Council, reinforcing Manzwine’s commitment to valorising the territory and national artistic creation.
