Golden /amber color. Subtle aromas of flint, chalk and wet rock. The palate shows a dry, fresh and mineral dryness. A remarkable acidity that enhances the whole salty and structured profile.
Climate: Typically mediterranean, in the winegrowing sub region of Vidigueira, where the climatic conditions are the most temperate of Alentejo and provide an excellent microclimate for the production of quality wines. Soil: Poor land, predominantly of granite and schist. Great pedological potential for the cultivation of vines and to produce excellent wines. Varieties: The varieties Verdelho, Viosinho e Alvarinho are trellised in the vertical shoot position. The rows have an east/west orientation with the grape varieties at the same exposure (west).
Vinification: Manual harvest into 12 kg boxes. At the winery, the grapes underwent manual selection on a vibrating sorting table. Fully destemmed and lightly crushed. Foot trodden in traditional stone open fermenter (lagar) with indigenous yeasts. Aging: Nine months in clay pots. Three months in the bottle.

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.
