Cadus Vinum
Discover Wines with a Sense of Place
At Cadus Vinum, we believe that wine is more than a beverage, it’s a living expression of land, culture, and care. We specialize in natural wine from small, independent producers who work organically or biodynamically and who craft wines that reflect the soul of their terroir. Our focus is on wines that are minimally manipulated, authentically made, and profoundly connected to where they come from.
“A wine that speaks of its place has a soul. A wine that speaks of process has only a recipe.”
Cadus Vinum is a curated destination for wine lovers seeking truth in the glass. Each bottle we select embodies integrity, transparency, and a sense of place, from the volcanic soils of Sicily to the rugged hills of Galicia, to the windswept vineyards of the Loire. These are wines that invite conversation, contemplation, and connection.
We also host curated wine events that bring these stories to life; guided tastings, vineyard spotlights, and seasonal selections that deepen your appreciation for the world of natural wine. Whether you’re new to this movement or a seasoned collector, our goal is to help you discover wines that resonate personally and ethically.
Explore Cadus Vinum to find honest wines with character, made by people who farm with purpose and bottle with heart. Welcome to a community that values origin over intervention, and expression over perfection.
R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña Bosconia 2011
Viña Bosconia comes from the historic El Bosque vineyard, a 15 hectare property situated along the Ebro River on the southern foothills of the Sierra Cantabria.
Le Pianelle Coste della Sesia Al Forte 2019
The vineyards occupy hillsides of volcanic porphyry soils, where the cooler Alpine climate and well drained terrain provide favorable conditions for Nebbiolo, Croatina, and Vespolina. These varieties combine to produce wines with vibrant acidity, aromatic complexity, and a distinctive earthy character.
Schioppettino di Prepotto DOC 2023
Schioppettino is one of Friuli-Venezia Giulia’s most distinctive indigenous red grapes, with a history closely tied to the village of Prepotto near the Slovenian border. Also known historically as Ribolla Nera, the variety nearly disappeared during the twentieth century.
Antico Broilo Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2024
Antico Broilo grows these grapes organically on 50 year old vines in Prepotto, in the eastern hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia, just a few miles from the Slovenian border. Rolling hills and steep slopes shape the landscape.
Antico Broilo Ribolla Gialla 2025
The wine is remarkably clean and refreshing, with bright citrus and restrained orchard-fruit notes rather than an overtly aromatic profile.
Vins Nus SiurAlta Jus Lemon Melon 2024
Lemon Melon 2024 is an especially playful expression of this philosophy. Made from organically grown Garnacha Blanca and Garnacha Gris, the fruit comes from approximately 25 year old vines growing on slate and red clay soils.
Antico Broilo Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso 2024
Antico Broilo grows these grapes organically on 50 year old vines in Prepotto, in the eastern hills of Friuli Venezia Giulia, just a few miles from the Slovenian border. Rolling hills and steep slopes shape the landscape.
Crafted by Jarrod Boyle at Alexandria Nicole, this 94 percent Roussanne with a touch of Viognier is an aromatic, Rhône styled white, offering sweet peach, apricot, lemon custard, lychee, honey, and white floral tones in a lush yet balanced frame, shaped by stainless steel to keep the bright, lemony spine and fresh, focused finish.

Pago de Valdoneje Bierzo 2023
Spain, Castilla y León, Bierzo
Mencia
Marcos Canedo of Vinos Valtuille blends fruit from different vineyard plots at both higher and lower elevations, seeking balance between the clay based sites that offer generous fruit and the higher, sandier areas that provide structure and power. The result is Pago de Valdoneje Bierzo.
Dimas García Canedo founded Vinos Valtuille S.L. in 1999. Today, the winery is thriving and expanding under the management of two of his children, Elena and Marcos.
The Pago de Valdoneje Mencía 2023 shows bright aromas of blackberries, plum, and mint on the nose. Dry and vibrant, the 2023 offers spirited tannins, toasted notes and a clean, fresh fruit finish. An excellent example of quality Mencía and very good value.

Filipa Pato Baga Bairrada Dinamica
Portugal, Beiras, Bairrada
100% Baga
A delightful and well made wine. Pale ruby color, medium intensity aromas with black fruit and herbal notes. Dry, with good acidity and moderate tannins. More pronounced on the palate, with a long finish. A quality wine and good value.
Filipa Pato’s focus is simple: to make great wines from indigenous grapes, in this case using Baga. Grapes are grown using biodynamic practices. In the winery, they handle the grapes with minimal intervention and strict monitoring, allowing them to express themselves. The goal is to showcase the terroir and produce wines "without makeup."
