The vines grow in the Vidigueira subregion on different soils: Alicante Bouschet is planted on both clayey-sandy and sandy sites, while the other red varieties grow on franco-clayey soils. In the cellar, Rocim works with wild yeasts and minimal intervention; the wine is matured in small clay vessels or amphorae rather than wood. The 2022 vintage shows red and black fruit, balsamic and slightly graphite-like notes, firm, lively tannins, initially restrained acidity that becomes more pronounced on the finish, and a long, powerful body.
