Behind The Bottle: Designing Canard Vineyard's 2020 Cuvée Des Cendres Rosé LabelWith the recent launch of our new website (!!!), we are excited to share even more valuable and insightful information on how BERGIN crafts distinctive packaging solutions that elevate your brand.
Whether it's one of our screen printing, etching or dressing projects, when you visit our new SHOWCASE page, you will find a plethora of content walking you through each process of working with our clients to achieve their packaging visions.
We hope this series will make you fall in love with bottle decorating (trust us, it's addicting) and further explain what to expect when you choose to work with our BERGIN family.
Behind The Bottle
Canard Vineyard lost all Napa Valley estate wines in the 2020 Glass Fire, including their much beloved Coucher de Soleil Estate Rosé. Managing Director, Adam Fox, asked us to help design a rosé label honoring those who lost so much in the devastating 2020 fire season in Napa and Sonoma County. In a true multi-AVA collaboration, their French-trained winemaker got to work and sourced some beautiful high-altitude Grenache from Paso Robles, CA and made the wine in Sonoma, CA.

Cuvée des Cendres (“from the ashes”) represents the unwavering resolve of the California farmers, vintners and winemakers who have faced so many devastating fires over the last few years. Canard is French for duck, and it was only fitting to design a duck rising from the ashes.
Let’s Get Technical
Original sketch by Eric Sabee
Designing on flint (clear) bottles is extremely different from working on traditional antique green glass because colors typically appear and behave in an individual fashion on each surface.
Although it often comes with its challenges, our Art Director Eric Sabee knows how to use transparency of the bottle to its advantage.
When considering color selections for Canard’s Rosé, Eric kept in mind how the inks would likely react when overlaid creating various effects in this spectacular design.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this limited production wine will be donated to the Napa Valley Community Disaster Relief Fund to support those who have lost so much in the wake of the fires.
