OUR STORY
WE SPECIALISE IN AUTHENTIC, TERROIR-DRIVEN WINES FROM BEAUJOLAIS, THE LOIRE VALLEY, AND OFTEN OVERLOOKED PARTS OF BURGUNDY SUCH AS COTE CHALONNAISE AND THE MACONNAISE. WE FAVOUR VIGNERONS WHO WORK SUSTAINABLY AND PREFER A LOW-INTERVENTION APPROACH TO WINEMAKING. THEY ALL LIKE TO FERMENT WITH NATIVE YEASTS, MINIMIZE ADDITIONS, AND ARE EITHER ORGANIC CERTIFIED OR LEAN THAT WAY.
THE VINTREPID JOURNEY IS IN IT'S INFANCY, BUT BEHIND IT LAYS A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE IN EUROPE REPRESENTING SOME OF THE WORLD'S BEST WINE PRODUCERS. THESE CONTACTS AND RELATIONSHIPS HAVE DRIVEN THE CREATION OF VINTREPID. IT IS A HOME FOR A MOTLEY CREW OF SMALL PRODUCERS, SOME WHO HAVE BIG REPUTATIONS OVERSEAS BUT WERE NOT EXPORTING, AND OTHERS WHO, LIKE US, ARE RELATIVELY NEW ON THEIR JOURNEY BUT PROMISE TO BE FUTURE STARS. TO THIS WE PLAN ON ADDING A SMALL HANDFULL OF LOCAL WINEMAKERS WHO SHARE OUR PASSION AND ETHOS.
THE MAJORITY OF THESE WINES ARE SOLD TO THE COUNTRIES BEST RESTAURANTS AND "PETIT CAVISTE". WE HAVE ALSO CREATED A SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE SO MEMBERS OF THE DRINKING PUBLIC CAN ACCESS THESE WINES ON A REGULAR BASIS THROUGH OUR CLUB VINTREPID. MORE HERE.
WE HAVE LOVINGLY HAND-SELECTED EVERY BOTTLE OF WINE. WE’VE VISITED THE VINEYARDS, MET THE WINEMAKERS AND TASTED THE WINE FROM BARREL. THESE PEOPLE HAVE BECOME NOT JUST SUPPLIERS BUT FRIENDS. AS WE LIKE TO SAY, WINES MADE BY FAMILIES AND NOT FACTORIES.
SANTÉ
