Herdade do Rocim Extra Virgin Olive Oil 6 x 500ml

DESCRIPTION
The investment in winemaking by Movicortes began in 2000 with the Herdade do Rocim. The estate with approximately 120 hectares, of which 70 hectares are vineyards, is situated between Vidigueira and Cuba in the Baixo Alentejo. A new adventure and a dream would follow.
The first years were dedicated to the restructuring and qualification of the estate, with the planting of new vines and the introduction of new wine grape varieties, in a project that mixed new and old knowledge, with reason and emotion, supported by the love of father and daughter. Then, the cellar was built and the production of wine with own brands started.
Also in Cortes (Leiria), the hometown of José Ribeiro Vieira, founder of the company, Rocim started the grapevine planting in 2003, aiming to recover the brand image of this parish and the family tradition in the winemaking sector, with the launch of Vale da Mata.
Today, Rocim is renowned for the quality of its wine and cellar and speaking of its history is speaking of a dream and therefore its speaking of the present and the future. Because dreams are endless.
Herdade do Rocim is an estate located between Vidigueira and Cuba, in the Lower Alentejo, with a size of 120 hectares, 70 of which are vineyards and 10 of olive trees.
The Vidigueira fault, a natural landmark which marks the border between the Upper and Lower Alentejo, determines the raison d´être of Vidigueira, the southernmost wine-producing sub-region in the Alentejo. The East-West facing escarpment, of around 50 kilometers in length, defines the climate of Vidigueira, and, despite its deep-lying southern location, makes it one of the most temperate sub-regions in the Alentejo.
