- It is a distinctive and complex wine with refreshing mineral notes, floral hints, and earthy notes against a savoury backdrop. Remarkable acidity and tension on the palate lead to a deliciously crisp finish.
Naturally vinified using the ancestral method, without any additions or corrections. The fruit was carefully selected to vinify only the highest quality berries. Fermentation occurred on the skins with indigenous yeasts in traditional clay amphora pots known as 'Talha'. The process took place without intervention. The wine was aged for two months, and skin contact imparted complex aromas and flavours, resulting in this distinctive wine. This wine may create a natural deposit.

| 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, with the warm days concentrating the flavours in the grapes while balancing the natural acidity retained during the cool nights. The soils are of granitic and schistous origin. The grapes for this wine come from ancient vineyards made up of ancient, native varieties. The fruit was manually harvested at optimal maturity. |
