End-to-end winemaking services company and Hive Award winner, Hirsch Wine Group, has launched its latest range under a new brand name – La Chica Con Tinta.

With two products now available, Arinto and Garnacha, the collection aims to bring lesser-known varietals to market that are full of life, expressive in character, and a little unconventional.

Translated from Spanish as The Girl With Tattoos, the company stated the brand encompasses the love of the traveller's spirit, brought to life under the supervision of Hirsch chief winemaker, Peter Mackey.

The 2025 Arinto is a Heathcote white which is described as capturing the sun-drenched spirit of Portugal, reimagined through Australian soil. Layers of bright citrus, juicy melon, and ripe stone fruit intertwine with hints of delicate florals and a lift of citrus zest.

The 2025 Garnacha is a vibrant medium-bodied Heathcote red, which delivers a delicate savoury edge. This Spanish inspired red is layered with fragrant red berries, strawberry and cherry then lifted by hints of clove, orange rind, and spice.

The Arinto and Garnacha grapes are crafted in small batches from carefully selected parcels in Heathcote, a region known for its ancient soils and generous sunshine, showcasing how Old World grapes can flourish under Australian skies.

La Chica Con Tinta Arinto and Garnacha are now available online at hirschhill.com for RRP $25.00.

Packaging News

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
