Casal de Ventozela Vinho Verde Arinto is a 2023 white from the Vinho Verde region of Minho, Portugal, made from 100% Arinto, a native variety with high acidity that is the first to be harvested. The grapes are picked by hand into small 18 kg boxes, macerated for 6 hours at low temperature, then gently pressed. Fermentation is temperature controlled, between 61F and 64F. The wine ages in stainless steel on its fine lees, with some bâtonnage for aroma and texture. A little CO2 is added at bottling. It has 12% alcohol and 4 to 6 g/l residual sugar.
Casal de Ventozela is a family business founded in 1983 and dedicated to Vinho Verde. Their 27 hectares lie in the Vale do Ave sub-region, on gentle granitic slopes between 100 and 200 meters, planted to native varieties. Atlantic sea breezes keep the wines light and fresh. No chemicals are used, and a team of about 30 harvests everything by hand, usually starting around September 20th. The wines are vegan.
