Toast to summertime with Hampton Water’s new floral Artist Series Bottle

Florals and rosé for spring? The Hampton Water Artist Series bottle, which launched on May 19, is one to pay attention to and then grab for your bar cart. 

The second annual bottle in the series is designed by Mary Ball, an Alabama-based painter who specializes in floral and nature-inspired designs. This motif makes for a perfect wrapping for spring and summertime’s favorite beverage — the light pink, refreshing rosé that Hampton Water is known for. 

For collectors and connoisseurs, the limited-edition bottle features Ball's painting entitled  “Red Roses,” created exclusively for Hampton Water. Fans of the brand will recognize the iconic diver front and center, but instead of the typical waves, she is leaping into winding vines, lush leaves, and pops of pink and red blooms.  

“We’ve partnered with renowned artist Mary Ball, who is known for finding nature’s most intricate details and bringing them to larger-than-life realization,” reads the Hampton Water site. “ Mary Ball’s work is informed by her experiences, surroundings, and evolving sense of place, allowing her to reimagine how we visualize our iconic Hampton Water Diver featured on our label.”

Behind the label, the wine itself is made from organic grapes and aged in French oak barrels to create the 2025 vintage. The flavor is soft spoken, another nod to the florals, with a light and highly drinkable profile and a crisp finish. Tasting notes include summer favorites like strawberry, watermelon and peach, while the French oak aging process adds a grounding depth to offset the sweetness. Pair this with fresh fruit, soft cheese, a full charcuterie spread or just a sunny day outdoors and the ambiance creates itself. 

Speaking of ambiance, to celebrate the launch in New York City, the brand brought the bottle to life in a forest of flowers, hosting a spring soirée in the new House Of Three design space from Popup Florist. Attendees enjoyed sips from the new bottle, build their own bouquet and view Bell’s “Red Roses” painting in person. Co-founder of Hampton Water Jesse Bongiovi also mingled amongst the guests, sharing his personal love of the brand, the wine and springtime in general, adding yet another element of brightness to the event. 

The bottle retails for $29.99 and in celebration of the Artist Series and the artist herself, a portion of all proceeds support The Conservation Fund. The nonprofit works toward finding climate solutions and protecting wildlife and forestland nationwide.
