- This naturally vinified wine is golden in colour. Its complex bouquet of smoky, spicy, and herbal aromas envelops the fruit. Grapefruit flavours are accompanied by a hint of tomato plant on the firm, dry, and textured palate. The finish is long and mineral with a touch of salinity.
Naturally vinified without any additions or corrections. The fruit was carefully selected, vinifying only the highest quality berries. The grapes were fermented with natural indigenous yeasts in traditional clay amphora pots known as 'Talha'. The process took place without any intervention, including temperature control. Following fermentation, the wine was aged for five months with skin contact, which imparted complex aromatics. This may create a natural deposit in the bottle.

| 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. |
