About this Prototype

Prototype Overview

This is a single-file prototype built to communicate the proposed visual direction and interaction design for Lamborghini Wine SA. Scroll behaviour, animation patterns, video integration, typography, and layout rhythm shown here are indicative of the intended character of the final build — not a production implementation.

01 — The Context

Current positioning
and proposed shift.

The brand's current digital presence in South Africa is primarily retail-facing. There is an opportunity to establish a stronger editorial narrative tied to terroir, craft, and local context — distinct from the global property.

Proposed Direction

A dedicated South African site — separate from the global property — focused on editorial pacing, restrained visual language, and a commerce layer that positions the wine as an allocation rather than a transaction.

02 — Design References

Reference Brands.

Rupert & Rothschild aesthetic

Aesthetic Direction

Rupert & Rothschild

High-gloss white background, minimal typographic hierarchy, deep historical brand credibility. Proposed baseline for layout and colour treatment.

Dom Pérignon experiential

Interaction Reference

Dom Pérignon

Editorial pacing over product listing. Content is sequenced as a narrative — full-bleed imagery, controlled scroll depth, no standard catalogue layout.

Klein Constantia craft

Narrative Reference

Klein Constantia

Establishes credibility through terroir specificity — soil type, climate, vintage notes. The digital language separates the wine from the automotive parent brand.

The Glass

Monochrome treatment — grayscale 100%, looped autoplay, portrait 9:14 aspect ratio

03 — The Motion

Demonstrating full-bleed video — 16:9 landscape.

16:9 looping video container with grayscale treatment and a subtle CSS scale. In production, assets would be served via CDN edge nodes — target load under 3s on LTE. Poster image shown as static fallback.

South Africa — The Living Terroir

Where the colour
treatment changes.

Unlike the monochrome treatment applied throughout, vine and landscape imagery from the Western Cape is shown at full saturation. This differentiates place-specific content from the general aesthetic tone.

05 — The Architecture

Technical
Foundation.

The proposed stack covers CMS, hosting, commerce layer, and animation approach. Each component is outlined below.

01

Enterprise WordPress

Headless or traditional WordPress as CMS. Custom post types for vintages and allocations. REST API or WPGraphQL for front-end data fetch. Full editorial control for the client team over content, imagery, and availability status.

02

Edge Infrastructure

Deployed to Vercel or AWS with a CDN layer (Cloudflare or CloudFront). Static assets and video served from edge nodes. Target: sub-2s First Contentful Paint on 4G mobile. High-resolution imagery served via Imgix or similar with automatic format negotiation (WebP/AVIF).

03

The 'Quiet' Cart

WooCommerce or a custom Commerce Layer integration. Checkout redesigned as a request form — SKU-limited, allocation-gated. No visible cart count or standard product grid. Payment via Stripe or PayFast (ZA). Order confirmation by email only.

04

Subtractive Animation

All animation in vanilla JS and CSS — no GSAP dependency. IntersectionObserver for scroll-triggered entrances. RAF loop for parallax offset. CSS clip-path for image reveals. Target: 60fps on mid-range mobile. No motion if prefers-reduced-motion is set.

Layout Preview

Design principle:
restraint
over decoration.

The final site implements this pacing throughout — scroll speed, animation timing, and layout density are all calibrated. Every interaction point is deliberate.

Lamborghini Wine — SA

Ready to
proceed.
