Ventozelo’s exceptional soil and climate are ideal for winemaking. Of all the species and crops that cohabit here, it is grapes that dominate. The 200 or so hectares, with over a million vines, extend from the banks of the river (at around 130 metres altitude) to the farm’s high point (at above 500 metres) where the grapes achieve a striking freshness.
The aim of the technical team is to enhance what makes this terroir so special, based on its varying altitudes, sun exposure, vine age, planting density, grape variety and conduction systems.
Understanding this complexity and adapting to best winegrowing practices to obtain unique wines is an exciting challenge. Every Ventozelo wine preserves the essence of this place and always with the elegance and balance of the great Douro Valley wines.
