Casal de Ventozela Rodrigo Vallejo-Cortona 2019

Casal de Ventozela Rodrigo 2019 is a robust red blend crafted from Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca. Deep ruby in color, it captivates with aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and dark cherries intertwined with notes of cocoa and leather. On the palate, this full-bodied wine delivers layers of ripe black fruit, supported by firm tannins and balanced acidity. The long, velvety finish reveals hints of spice and earthiness, making it a perfect match for grilled meats, stews, or aged cheeses.

Nestled in the heart of Portugal's Vinho Verde region, Casal de Ventozela is a family-run estate with a rich history dating back to 1874. The winery, revived in 2008 by José Ferrera Cortinhas, spans 45 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards across the Vale do Ave and Vale do Covado sub-regions. Dedicated to preserving the environment, the estate uses no chemicals and follows traditional hand-harvesting practices. With a commitment to producing high-quality, vegan wines, Casal de Ventozela beautifully showcases Portugal's indigenous grape varieties and terroir.
