Herdade do Rocim
Short description

Herdade do Rocim is an estate located between Vidigueira and Cuba, in the Lower
Alentejo. It comprises 120 hectares, 70 of which are made up of vineyards and 10
hectares of olive trees. Since its inception in 2000, Herdade do Rocim has invested
heavily in the vineyards, replanting vines and introducing new varieties. They cultivate
the vineyard sustainably and are associated with the Sustainable Program of the
Alentejo Viticulture. They are pioneers in ‘amphora wines’, following the ancient
traditions of vinification in pots known as ‘Tahla’. The vineyard is cultivated manually
and minimal intervention is used in the cellar, to produce fresh, elegant and mineral
wines. In 2018, Herdade do Rocim was awarded Best Wine Producer by Revista de
Vinhos.
