There are some fairly esoteric techniques included in the Bonny Doon Cannon.
“Bonny Doon has always been an innovator and always pushed the envelope.” Thinking back on all that they have accomplished. It dooned on them that what they needed to do was harness all of the great innovative and experimental zeal that is the company’s forte...and channel it into a clear precise direction.
“The wines their making now are vibrant, soulful that’s the only way I can describe them”
The Cigare Volant in recent vintages has been awesome concentrated and elegant and most significantly, age worthy.
Since early 2004 they have practiced strict adherence to biodynamic viticulture practices.
They believe these practices give them the best opportunity to produce the distinctive and interesting-in a word the best wines possible.
They also get a number of artist to do their lables.
