I like this topic a lot. I really agree on the Pergole Torte labels. those are my favorite of any label I own, and Ill keep every bottle as I drink it because of that.
Other labels that I really like:
Hope Well Pinot Noir from Mimi Casteel
Patty Green Commemorative bottling from Patricia Green
Jolie Laide- especially some of the backstories are cool here
Pax Trousseau Gris
Kelley Fox Barbie Pinot Blanc
Lady of the Sunshine
Wow, thanks for all the responses. I spent the last half hour scrolling the web looking at wine art labels.

These are all classic, beautiful, understated font-driven labels. Simple but elegant. Thanks.
Great stuff. They actually did an amazing job at modernising their labels, and I like both the older and the newer versions. Doesn’t happen often.
They remind me of Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay labels, which also feature an art painting and the written font together. I think I prefer when there’s only the image on the label, it looks cleaner, but they are beautiful nonetheless.
People seem to love or hate here. I like the classic Burgundy-style labels that Rousseau uses for the non-Chambertin bottles. However, with a high-quality picture, one can see the regal beauty of the Chambertin:
These are all beautiful. I didn’t know Sandlands, which are indeed some of the best new world labels I’ve seen. In terms of new world I also like the minimal By Farr labels from Australia:
Bodega Catena Zapata has a sweet label.
4 females showing the history of Malbec.
(Only posted the last picture, can show the others if people want to see them)
Nine Suns label is simple yet beautiful.
(Maybe it’s the Melka autograph.)
