Quinta de Ventozelo Tinta Amarela Tinto 2021

At Quinta de Ventozelo, every grape variety has a history. In the case of Tinta Amarela, the personality manifested in the vineyard shines through in every bottle. This very Portuguese grape variety is vivacious and has a vigour that must be understood and moulded. Harvested at just the right moment, its traits are carried through into this wine: smooth, youthful and defiant. This is a strikingly elegant and persistent wine.

Grape Varieties: Tinta Amarela

Tasting Notes: Violet in colour with a smooth and fruity aromatic profile, this is a complex wine on the palate – profound but delicate. The mature fruit aromas one can sense on the nose can also be subtly detected in the mouth and prolong into the finish.

Vinification: The grapes were received at the winery, in the special line, with total destemming and manual selection of bunches and then “berry by berry” by an optical sorting machine. Fermentation was carried out in a press, with pre-fermentation maceration and temperature control.

Ageing: 18 months.

Gastronomy: Pairs very well with medium-strong cheese, oily fish or meat dishes. Best consumed at a temperature of 16º–18ºC.

Ideal consumption date: Can be kept closed, in suitable conditions, for 15 years without losing quality.
