Bodegas Castro Ventosa

Castro Ventosa is a family founded and owned wine estate, in the hands of the Perez family since 1752. Today the family owns 72 hectares of Mencia vineyards and are thus the biggest landowner of this grape variety within Bierzo DO. Current generation is the Spanish winemaking legend Raul Perez, who along with being involved with the family vineyard also runs his own company, Bodegas y Vinedos Raul Peres.

The winery – the name of which translates ‘the windy castle’ – is situated in the village of Valtuille de Abajo. The flagship wine Valtuille is made from five parcels of pre-phylloxera vines which grow on the only sandy soil found in Bierzo. Two excellent wines are produced, a red (Mencia) and a white (Godello).
