The oldest document found concerning the purchase of a Castro Ventosa vineyard dates from 1752. As with many winemakers in Spain, grapes were always sold to the local cooperative. It is only since the early 90s that the estate itself started making and bottling wines. The youngest generation, in particular, played a very important role in this. The entire Pérez family works at the estate, but it is undoubtedly oenologist Raúl Pérez who has put this estate on the map.
Description: Juicy, full-bodied, round, soft tannins and a little spicy with lots of dark fruit.
Goes well with: Poultry, cold meat dishes, aged cheeses.
Fun fact: The grapes for this wine are hand-picked and destemmed before fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is blended. The finished wine rests for 3 months in old 5,000-liter oak barrels. The wine is then bottled unfiltered.
