Quinta de Ventozelo Syrah Oak Matured Tinto 2021

At Quinta de Ventozelo, every grape variety has a history. Syrah is all about surprise – revealing an unexpected personality for a variety that is not indigenous to the Douro region. To ripen its structure and enhance its fruity exuberance, we left it to rest in wood barrels for a year. The result is this memorable Syrah Oak Matured.
