O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2017
A deep ruby colour. Balsamic notes with woody hints of graphite in a consistent, mineral and subtle combination, revealing the terroir in which it originated. A firm and multidimensional flavour, marked by the freshness and smoothness of the blend. Excellent storage potential.
Chronicle #328 José Ribeiro Vieira was born out of a dream, will and love. It is the homage to a Man and to his work. To someone who believed in the land, in the affections and in knowledge. To the courage to write what he thought. This wine is his last Chronicle. The one that was left unwritten.
The typically Mediterranean climate, in the wine-producing sub-region of Vidigueira, where the climatic conditions are the most temperate in the Alentejo, providing an optimum microclimate for the production of high quality wines. The soils are not very productive, of schist origin, with great pedological potential for growing vines and obtaining wines of excellence. Aragonês and Trincadeira grape varieties are grown in ascending monoplane. The rows have an east-west orientation and the grape varieties have the same exposure (west). The harvest was carried out manually in 12 kg boxes. In the winery, the grapes were submitted to a careful selection “berry by berry” in a vibrating selection belt. The cold pelicular maceration took place for 72 hours, fermentation took place in French oak vats and the ageing took place for 24 months in 500 litre barrels.

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.
