O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2017
A deep ruby colour. Balsamic notes with woody traces of graphite in a consistent, mineral and subtle combination, revealing the terroir in which it originated. A firm and multidimensional flavour, marked by the freshness and smoothness of the batch. Excellent storage potential.
Crónica #328 José Ribeiro Vieira is born of dream, will and love. It is the homage to a man and his work. To someone who believed in the earth, in affections and in knowledge. To the courage to write what he thought. This wine is his last Chronicle. The one left unwritten.
The typically Mediterranean climate, in the Vidigueira wine-growing sub region, where the climate conditions are the most temperate in Alentejo, providing an optimum microclimate for the production of high quality wines. The soil is not very productive, of schistous origin, with great pedological potential for the cultivation of vines and obtaining wines of excellence. The Aragonês and Trincadeira grape varieties are conducted in ascending monoplane. The lines are East-West and the grape varieties have the same exposure (west). The harvest took place manually in 12 kg boxes. In the winery, the grapes were subjected to a careful “berry to berry” selection on a vibrating choice carpet. The cold maceration took place for 72 hours and fermentation in French oak vats, and ageing for 24 months in 500L barrels.

Herdade do Rocim
Herdade do Rocim is a property located between Vidigueira and Cuba, in Baixo Alentejo, with about 120 hectares, including 70 hectares of vineyards and 10 hectares of olive groves. Acquired in 2000 by Movicortes, S.A., in the following years there was restructuring and qualification work, consummated with the planting of most of the vineyard that today constitutes the Herdade do Rocim. This process of implantation was made according to specific criteria that allow the production of high quality grapes. The winery is a structuring element of the Herdade do Rocim project, which combines wine production with the aesthetic quality of its architecture and works as a promotional element for the requalification of the region. At Herdade do Rocim all efforts go in the direction of doing well, always improving and with a constant concern for the quality of the wine.
