A family-run estate in Portugal’s Vinho Verde, Casal de Ventozela farms sustainably with a focus on biodiversity and soil health. Hand-harvested grapes undergo brief maceration and fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks before being bottled to finish fermentation naturally, following the traditional Pét-Nat method. Unfiltered and undisgorged, it is lightly cloudy with fine sediment and lively notes of green apple, lemon zest, fresh herbs, Meyer lemon, and a subtle ocean salinity.
