ROCIM launches three iconic whites from emblematic regions of the country

To mark the arrival of warm weather, Rocim will launch a limited edition on the market that brings together its three iconic whites, from emblematic wine regions in the country: O Estrangeiro (Dão), Bela Luz (Douro) and Clay Aged (Alentejo). The trio from the 2022 harvest is called ‘Great Whites from Rocim’, and appears in a personalized box with the image of the great white shark, developed by Rocim’s in-house team. Only 30 units will be available, for sale in the online store, for approximately 100 euros. The wines, with oenology by Catarina Vieira and Pedro Ribeiro, are also available for individual sale. The action reinforces Rocim’s commitment to reinforcing the diversity of its portfolio and consolidating great wines from projects in various wine-growing regions of the country, while continuing to surprise consumers with distinct wine experiences. «The combination of three of our most iconic white wines, from the same year, in a unique product, will allow the consumer to travel through three wine-growing regions of the country and experience what distinguishes them. We want Great Whites from Rocim to be a moment of special consumption, to welcome long days because the wine is always much more than what the bottle contains», says Pedro Ribeiro, winemaker and administrator of Rocim.

With DNA strongly cemented in the Alentejo, this exclusive release includes one of Rocim’s most acclaimed wines, Clay Aged, a unique wine, trodden by foot in a stone press, with all its stems and only indigenous yeasts, aged in clay from Herdade do Rocim and produced from the Verdelho, Viosinho and Alvarinho grape varieties. Of Rocim’s presence in Dão, O Estrangeiro is the iconic reference, a field blend of old vines, just like Bela Luz, which consolidated and reinforced Rocim’s presence in Douro.

The brand, which already had a vineyard in the Lisbon – Vale da Mata region, is strongly based in Alentejo, but has, over the years, invested in other regions, with vineyards in Douro and Dão and partnerships with wine producers in islands of Madeira and the Azores, the Algarve and Vinhos Verdes. Last year he launched an Arinto, from Lisbon, in a project that brought together Rocim winemaker, Pedro Ribeiro, and Austrian winemaker, Lenz Moser. «We are curious by nature. We like to anticipate and create trends and surprise lovers of special wines», concludes Pedro Ribeiro.

The trio of wines can be purchased at selected wine stores or at the Rocim winery wine tourism store.
