Castro Ventosa - Raul Pérez ' El Castro de Valtuille Godello 2023 '

The oldest document found regarding the purchase of a Castro Ventosa vineyard dates back to 1752. As was the case with many winemakers in Spain, the grapes were always sold to the local cooperative. It was not until the early 1990s that the estate itself began making and bottling wines. The youngest generation, in particular, played a very significant role in this. The entire Pérez family works on the estate, but it is undoubtedly oenologist Raúl Pérez who has put this estate on the map.

Description: Matured for 12 months in oak barrels, rich, full-bodied, elegant with a slight freshness.

Pairs well with: Fried oily fish, richly filled ravioli, paella.

Fun fact: Castro Ventosa is located in Valtuille de Abajo, a small village in the lower part of the Bierzo region, with mainly sandy and clay soils. Bierzo itself already has a microclimate with milder temperatures than the surrounding regions (León, Galicia).
