Herdade do Rocim

With two thousand years of tradition in Alentejo, talha wine continues to be produced according to the winemaking processes of the Roman villae. With this wine, Herdade do Rocim pays homage to the ancestral tradition of vine and wine culture.

Climate: Typically Mediterranean, presented in the Vidigueira sub-region where the climatic conditions are the most temperate in Alentejo, providing an optimal microclimate for the production of high-quality wines. Soils: Low productivity, of granitic and schist origin. Great pedological potential for vine cultivation and obtaining excellent wines.

Winemaking: Winemaking was carried out by the traditional process, in clay talhas and without skin contact. The ancestral method of making talha wine was fully respected. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts from the region and without any addition or correction of the must.

Aging: The wine aged for three months in the bottle. This wine was not stabilized before bottling, so as not to affect its potential for evolution, and may create a slight natural deposit during its time in the bottle.

Viticulture: Catarina Vieira and Amândio Cruz. Enology: Catarina Vieira and Pedro Ribeiro.

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.
