O Produtor, tasting note published in May 4th 2023
Salmon colour. Mineral on the nose with floral and vegetal nuances typical of the grape variety, some spices and the complexity of the barrel ageing in a coherent and well-defined whole. The palate is ample, deep and remarkably fresh.
Originating from a region with a typically Mediterranean climate, in the wine sub-region of Vidigueira, where the climatic conditions are the most temperate in the Alentejo, offering an optimal microclimate for the production of high quality wines.
The soils are not very productive, sandy and of granite origin. A great pedological potential for the cultivation of vines and the production of excellent wines.
The Trincadeira variety is grown on a plot with a slight western exposure and east-west rows.
Hand-picked in 12 kg boxes in the early morning of 23 August
of 2020. Careful selection on a vibrating belt, with light crushing of the grapes during destemming. Vinification in open skins after static cold clarification. Fermented in 500 litre French oak barrels for 23 days at a controlled temperature of 16ºC.
The wine was aged for six months in 500 litre French oak 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.
