Fiadh Ruadh Wine Packaging Design & Logo
 
Fiadh Ruadh (pronounced Fay-ah Roo-ah), Gaelic for “untamed wild red deer,” symbolizes Nova’s strength, grace, and persistence—which the packaging needed to embody. The label needed to have a high-fashion edginess as well as maintain an ultra-premium Napa Valley sense of luxury.
 
Fiadh Ruadh Skull & Antler Design Detail
 
CF Napa captured Fiadh Ruadh’s badass ethos through a modern label design highlighted by sculpture embossed, gold foil deer skulls and antlers drawn by CF Napa. These iconic skull and antlers also provided a subtle connection to the wine’s Stags Leap District AVA.

Fiadh Ruadh Wine Label Info Design Detail
The illustration was duplicated so that one skull and antlers could be viewed straight on when the bottle was turned, but when the brand name faced forward, the two intertwined to frame the brand name and label information.
