Tinta Roriz 2019, 75cl

Douro

Quinta de Ventozelo

2019 can be considered a dry viticultural year in the Douro region. It was a year with a dry winter and spring, with significant rainfall occurring only in the month of April and sporadically during the harvest period. Despite the vines showing a need for water to ensure ripening, moderate temperatures during the summer contributed to gradual maturation. The harvest yielded musts with excellent balance between sugar and acidity, proving to be very interesting from a phenolic standpoint.

The grapes were harvested manually in September, with careful selection.

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes underwent total destemming and manual bunch selection. Subsequently, they were sorted “berry by berry” by an optical selection machine. Vinification took place in a lagar, with pre and post-fermentative maceration and dynamic temperature control.

The wine aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels.

Bottling took place in 2021.

This wine pairs well with intense cheeses, roasted fatty fish, red meats, 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
