At Herdade do Rocim we respect, from the beginning, the natural vocation of the region’s terroir, producing fresh, elegant and mineral wines.
Growing Conditions
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.
Poor land, sandy loam soils of granitic origin. Great pedological potential for the cultivation of vines and to produce quality wines.
The variety Antão Vaz is trellised in an old vineyard, in a plot that is slightly exposed to the east, with a north-south orientation.
