Thibaud Capellaro - Limited Natural Wines from the Rhône

Good news! Labor Day Weekend is upon us, and we received our tiny allocation of Thibaud Capellaro wines in just in time for the long weekend.

Based in the northern Rhône appellation of Condrieu, Thibaud—a first-generation winemaker—has been forging his own path across this renowned viticultural region. After pursuing studies in business, he followed his passion and set out to create a winery. After working alongside some of the region's greats (including André Perret), as well as in Australia, Thibaud returned to his native region, rented a basement winery space, and the rest was history.

Thibaud's project has two sides to it: estate and négoce. This week, we're focusing on his négociant business, called Slope. Here, Thibaud sources fruit from organic farmers across the region and crafts a handful of fun, easy-to-drink cuvées. Fruit comes from all around the Rhône, Ardèche, and the Coteaux du Lyonnais.

This week, we're excited to share his Le Temps d'Une Bise, a natural Marsanne-Viognier blend sourced from organically-farmed vines in Saint-Joseph, as well as Ombre & Lumière, a chillable Grenache/Syrah/Viognier blend perfect for chilling and sipping on cool September nights that hint at the upcoming fall season.

These rather unconventional wines (for the region) are making waves across the natural wine scene and Rhône alike; we've been lucky enough to get our hands on one case of each.

Stop by grab a bottle for yourself this LDW weekend. We'd love to see you in person.

Cheers!
