Sommelier Edition Filipe Wang Tinto

The grapes come from several parcels of Vinha da Micaela near Vidigueira. For this vineyard site, the producer describes both clay-sandy and sandy soils. The blend combines Moreto, Trincadeira, Tinta Grossa and Alicante Bouschet. At the winery, Rocim generally works with wild yeasts and minimal intervention; the exact maturation vessel and duration for this wine have not been documented. In the glass, it shows concentrated but not overloaded colour, ripe red fruit and subtle menthol notes. On the palate it is fresh and elegant, with fine, prominent tannins and less structure than a typical Alentejo Tinto. Sources: Rocim, Forbes Portugal and Grandes Escolhas.
