Herdade Do Rocim Tinto

Description

Let’s just say this wine was clearly born with a touch of obsessive perfection in mind. The hand-harvested grapes, carefully transported in 12kg boxes, speak volumes about the meticulous attention to detail. The use of a vibrating sorting table highlights a serious commitment to quality. That extended, temperature-controlled cold maceration really sets the stage for a gentle fermentation, using both French oak balseiros and traditional lagares. With a deep ruby hue and notes of mint, balsamic, and spices – a clear nod to its oak aging – this wine is undeniably polished. The well-structured tannins and vibrant acidity suggest a longevity worthy of its accolades, including a Gold Medal at the “Uva de Ouro” competition in 2019, and a recommendation from *Revista de Vinhos*. It's a wine that's as beautifully crafted as the estate itself – a true marketing success, wouldn’t you agree?
