Single Estate Douro Red Wine from Quinta Ventozelo, produced exclusively from Tinta Roriz grape variety.
2017 was an extraordinary production year! A drought year with maybe the earliest harvest ever made in the Douro Area!
Handpicked grapes with a careful selection of bunches. After a careful selection in the vineyards, the bunches were hand-sorted and destemed at the winery, with a final berry-to-berry sorting process using an optical machine. The vinification took place in lagars with pre-fermentative maceration and dynamic temperature control.
Matured in 600L French oak barrels, for 18 months.
Deep Intense Ruby Red Colour with bluish hints. In the nose it is very promising with plenty of ripe red fruit. In the mouth it is voluminous and enticing, quite impressive, dry, high quality fruit, really nice acidity that provides a sensation of freshness, well structured tannins and a very long after-taste. Quite Admirable with lots of ageing Potential!
Drink at 16 to 17 Celsius Degrees.
Drink up to 2032, for this wine will definitely evolve well in the bottle.
Drink as an aperitif with the starters or intense Cheeses or fat fish and red meat plates.
