Description: The use of amphora (talhas) was a method practiced by the Romans 2,000 years ago, and Herdade do Rocim takes the use of amphora winemaking to new heights. An award winner for 30 years, proves that 3 generations of wine makers were on the right track, currently ran by husband and wife, Pedro and Catarina. Since the grapes are ancient and slow ripening, they’re picked towards the end of September. The terroir, in good years, will express wines with fresh minerals and elegance. With some aeration the wine exhibits notes of dried honey, lemon drop, and hint of the mineral stone. The palate is very dry with a finish of dried lemon and honey.

Food Pairing: Lemon chicken, meaty fish, spring peas, shishito peppers, etc.
