Wine Description
The Herdade do Rocim Alentejo Mariana Red 2023 is a premium Portuguese red wine crafted from a harmonious blend of native grape varieties, showcasing the unique terroir of the Alentejo region. This wine is a delightful combination of Touriga Nacional (40%), Aragonez (30%), Alicante Bouschet (20%), and Trincadeira (10%), which together create a beautifully balanced profile of rich fruit flavours and elegant structure.
On the nose, the wine opens with vibrant aromas of red berries, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwined with subtle spicy notes of black pepper and cloves. These enticing aromas give way to a silky smooth palate, where the fresh fruit character is enveloped by silky tannins, offering a plush, full-bodied mouthfeel that lingers on the finish. The wine's balanced acidity provides an excellent structure, making it both refreshing and long-lasting.
At 14% ABV, the Herdade do Rocim Alentejo Mariana Red 2023 has the perfect level of strength to pair with a wide range of dishes. It is especially well-suited to grilled meats, barbecued vegetables, and hard cheeses, offering a sophisticated and delightful drinking experience.

| Winery | Herdade do Rocim is associated with the Sustainable Program of the Alentejo Viticulture. This wine is made from organically grown grapes; 70% of the vineyard is certified, and the remaining 30% is in conversion. The estate is situated on the Vidigueira fault, a 30-mile-long east-west facing escarpment which rises to 420 metres. The fault significantly influences the climate, trapping the cool, humid Atlantic winds, so despite its southern location, it is one of the most temperate sub-regions in the Alentejo. These cooling and humid influences descend at night, creating diurnal temperature differences of 15°C, which extend the ripening period. The warm days concentrate the flavours in the grapes while balancing natural acidity, which is retained during the cool nights. The soils are of granitic and schistous origin. The water level in the soil is rich and superficial, nourishing the vines during the warm summers. All grapes are manually harvested. |
