Syrah Oak Matured 2021, 75cl

Douro

Quinta de Ventozelo

At Quinta de Ventozelo, each grape variety tells a story. The story of Syrah tells us of a surprise. A grape variety that, although not native to the Douro region, showed an unexpected personality at Ventozelo. To mature its structure and enhance the exuberant fruit it displayed, we let it rest for a year in wooden barrels. The result is this memorable Syrah Oak Matured.

The year 2021 was a normal, dry year with good productivity in the Douro. The rainfall recorded during the winter, as well as in April and June, compensated for the very dry months of March and May, allowing for the normal development of the vine, without water being a limiting factor. The long and cool harvest produced equally fresh musts of good quality, slightly less alcoholic.

Vinification: carried out in lagares, after a cold pre-fermentative maceration. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Winemaking: José Manuel Sousa Soares

Pairs perfectly with cheeses, spicy dishes, red meat, and game.

Quinta de Ventozelo

In 2014 Quinta de Ventozelo was acquired by Gran Cruz, the largest Port wine exporting company in Portugal, which was already processing its grapes since 2011.
Since that moment, Gran Cruz’s strategy has sought to enhance the enormous potential of the property. This involves not only working on the richness and diversity of its wines, but also investing in olive oil, wine tourism and nature tourism.
In a total involvement with this place and its terroir, all the work developed has as main focus to privilege and preserve its simplicity and authenticity
