Drop of Sunshine: A Toast to Women, Our Connections & The Stories That Bring Us Together

Treasury Wine Estates (TWE), one of the world’s leading wine companies, has launched a new line of premium wines,  Drop of Sunshine, in partnership with Candle Media’s Hello Sunshine – a multi-channel media company founded by  Reese Witherspoon that puts women at the center of every story it creates, celebrates and discovers.  

After recognising an opportunity for an authentic, female-focused wine brand, the women-led TWE team found the  ultimate partner in Hello Sunshine, which was inspired by Hello Sunshine’s mission to shine a light on where women  are now and empower them to chart a new path forward.  

Sarah Harden, CEO of both Hello Sunshine and Candle Studios, Candle’s premium live action unit, shares her  excitement about the partnership: “We partnered with Treasury Wine Estates’ award-winning winemakers and global  team to create a wine that brings women together so they can share their stories and create meaningful connections.  Drop of Sunshine is the result of a true collaboration, created with care to inspire bright moments of celebration and  togetherness.” 

Through year-long partnerships with the storytellers and changemakers behind The Home Edit, Reese’s Book Club  (RBC), The Hello Sunshine Collective, The Bright Side, and many beloved film, television, and music projects, Drop of  Sunshine will have the support to celebrate and inspire women. 

This innovative line of lifestyle wines is a product of gathered data from test groups to understand what women truly  want to see, drink, and enjoy through their wines. Stylistically, Drop of Sunshine wines were crafted to be approachable,  balanced, and versatile, allowing moments of connection with or without food. All Drop of Sunshine wines are  packaged in chic, elegant, and minimalistic glass bottles and designed sustainably with screwcaps on still wines and  no foil on sparkling. 

The range has initially launched with a Prosecco (RRP $20), Sauvignon Blanc (RRP $20) and Pinot Grigio (RRP $20) and  is available now in leading national retailers.
