Über das Weingut und die Weine

Located on the left bank of the River Douro as you arrive at Ervedosa, Quinta de Ventozelo is one of the region’s most beautiful and impressive estates. This vast amphitheatre overlooking the river is “the gateway to the silence of the Douro Valley”, where time seems to flow more slowly. The calmness and close connection to nature are its main intangible value. Quinta de Ventozelo was once farmed by Cistercian monks who inhabited the region in the Middle Age. The monks transformed local agriculture and began production of port wine. The first historical mention of Ventozelo dates from 1288, but around 1500, by assignment of the Cistercian Monastery of S. Pedro das Águias, the Estate came into the hands of the hidalgos of Casa do Poço from Lamego.

The Ventozelo project is designed to transform the Estate into a unique and model property in the region without losing sight of its history. Affirming the excellence of its wines and other agricultural products, safeguarding the natural wealth of its habitats and fostering biodiversity – these are the key steps to ensure its long-term productive and environmental sustainability. The challenge involves affirming the prestige and renown of the Ventozelo brand, escaping the routine and exploring new paths. And that implies art. Not just art in the sense of a masterful expertise and brio but art allied to the ability for scientific and technical innovation – an intermingling of areas of knowledge that boosts each one, combining tradition with modernity. We want Quinta de Ventozelo to be a place that is increasingly about offering unique and memorable sensations, be it through experiences of nature, wine, olive oil or even just contemplation.
