Castro Ventosa / Fam. Pérez Pereira

Castro Ventosa - a bodega in the heart of the Bierzo vineyards. The DO Bierzo, in northwestern Spain, covers about 3500 hectares of vineyards, 70 % of which are between 40 to over 100 years old. On limestone soils interspersed with sand, the indigenous grape variety Mencía feels particularly at home here

In 1752, a member of the Pérez Pereira family acquired 54 hectares of land in Valtuille de Abajo. Today, the family has been growing wine here for four generations. The most famous winemaker in the region is probably Alvaro Palacios, although his family winery Palacios Remondo is in Rioja. Alvaro came to the region as a flying winemaker for the Castro Ventosa winery, where he learned how to work with Mencía before founding his own bodega, thus making the Bierzo region known throughout the world.Thanks not least to the know-how of Alvaro Palacios and the ambition and experience of the Pérez Pereira family, the two wines El Valtuille and El Castro del Valtuille are now among the best wines made from the Mencía grape.

Castro Ventosa - eine Bodega im Herzen des Weinlandes Bierzo. Das DO-Gebiet Bierzo umfasst etwa 3500 Hektaren Reben, wovon 70 % der Rebstöcke 40 bis über 100 Jahre alt sind. Auf dem mit Sand durchsetzten Kalkboden fühlt sich die heimische Traubensorte Mencía sehr wohl. 1752 erwarb ein Mitglied der Familie Pérez Pereira 54 Hektaren Land in Valtuille de Abajo und seit vier Generationen keltert die Familie dort Wein. Bekanntester Weinbauer der Region ist wohl Alvaro Palacios, dessen Familienbetrieb, Palacios Remondo, im Rioja liegt. Als flying winemaker gastierte Alvaro zuerst in der Kellerei Castro Ventosa, wo er den Umgang mit der Mencía- Traube lernte, bevor er später seine eigene Bodega gründete und damit die Region Bierzo weltweit bekannt machte. Nicht zuletzt dank dem Know-how von Alvaro Palacios und dem Ehrgeiz und der Erfahrung der Familie Pérez Pereira gehören die beiden Weine El Valtuille und El Castro del Valtuille zum Besten, was heute aus der Mencía-Traubegekeltert wird.
