Winemaker Notes: 

"Tangy red fruit aromas set up pomegranate and red currant fruits on thepalate. Dried mountain herbs accent a bright, lively, punchy finish.  The Burato vineyard is located on the Miño river, north of his other two plots, which lie in the Amandi subzone. The Miño landscape is lush with a significantly cooler climate and higher average rainfall than Amandi. Streams flow directly through the vineyard on their way to the Miño when it rains. The soils are mixed granitic and alluvial. The vineyard is planted to mencía and merenzao (a.k.a. trousseau or bastardo), which yields crisp, refreshing red wines with mouthwatering acidity. Ramon does not use any chemicals in the vineyard nor corrections in his winery and makes the wines simply, without intervention or fancy winemaking. D. Ventura is transparent viticultor wine from Ribeira Sacra."
