Rhône // France

85% Viognier and 15% Syrah from 25 years old vines on granite clay terroir. The Viognier grapes for this cuvée come from Gerald Oustric, famous winemaker at the Le Mazel estate in South Ardèche. The Syrah comes from Thibaud’s vineyard from Côte-Rôtie. Whole bunch Viognier fermented for 10 days together with pressed Syrah. Aged in demi-muids and amphora for 11 months. Bottled without fining, filtration or added sulphur.  Think blood orange paired with raspberries and strawberries spiced with elderflower, mango, and lychee. Complex, round, with a long vibrant finish. Only 800 bottles made.
About the Producer

Thibaud Capellaro is part of the new wave of wine producers rising in Northern Rhône. Although he grew up in the area, he is a first-generation winemaker. He founded Slope in 2018 and began renting a cellar in Condrieu. The grapes are all négociant bought from producers in Rhône and Ardèche, but Thibaud thinks long-term and has bigger plans for Slope than just being a négociant.

Thibaud’s operation consists of his own vineyards in Côte-Rôtie: two plots from François Bouillot-Salomon, and a négoce line called Slope, for which he sources grapes from small, organic growers in the region.

His winemaking is original and experimental. He is not afraid to break the norms set by the appellation system in the area. In the cellar, he uses spontaneous fermentation, no fining or filtration, old casks and minimal to no added sulphur. He uses a variety of vessels, from used oak barrels, stainless steel, fiberglass, and even terracotta and ceramic.
