Castro Ventosa is the historic family winery of Raúl Pérez in Valtuille de Abajo, a hamlet of Villafranca del Bierzo with one of the highest concentrations of old vines in the region. The family has tended vineyards here for more than two and a half centuries, and the estate today is run by Raúl's nephew César Márquez, with Raúl overseeing the blends.
Valtuille Cepas Centenarias is the top red of the estate and one of Bierzo's most distinguished wines. As the name suggests, it comes from vines that are often more than a century old, and since 2018 it has been sourced from a single parcel, Mata los Pardos, on sandy and clay soils over slate. MencÃa leads, interplanted with small amounts of Alicante Bouschet, Bastardo and white varieties.
The hand-harvested bunches are fermented with their stems and native yeasts in open tanks, with a long, gentle maceration, before around 12 months in used French oak and bottling without filtration. Expect cherry, violet and lavender aromas with subtle spice and an earthy undertone, leading to a compact, precise palate of red fruit and graphite, fine tannins, lively acidity and a long, mineral finish.
