Herdade de Rocim Mariana Rose
Portugal's Alentejo region might be better known for its bold reds, but this rosé proves they can do pink with equal finesse. Made primarily from Portugal's noble Touriga Nacional grape with a touch of Aragonez (that's Tempranillo to the rest of the world), this is a rosé with both character and charm. Herdade do Rocim is committed to showcasing the unique terroir of Alentejo, and this rosé beautifully expresses the warm days and cool nights of this inland region. The result is a wine with generous fruit that remains perfectly balanced by refreshing acidity. It's serious enough to pair with a proper meal but casual enough for poolside sipping – essentially the perfect rosé for any occasion. And while Portugal may not be the first country that comes to mind for rosé, bottles like this make a compelling case for exploring beyond Provence.
Herdade de Rocim Mariana White
Portugal's white wines remain one of the wine world's best-kept secrets, and the Mariana White from Herdade do Rocim is a perfect example of why that's a shame. This blend of indigenous Portuguese varieties delivers a distinctive character you simply won't find in more familiar whites. Coming from Alentejo, a region better known for its reds, this white blend combines the structure and citrus notes of Arinto, the body and tropical fruit of Antão Vaz, and the aromatic complexity of Alvarinho (the same grape as Spain's Albariño). The result is a wine that's both refreshing and substantial, with enough complexity to keep things interesting but remaining utterly drinkable. It's the perfect bottle for those looking to venture beyond the usual white wine suspects and discover what makes Portuguese whites so special – and such remarkable values.

From the sun-baked plains of Alentejo, this Touriga Nacional delivers the grape's characteristic combination of power and elegance – rich dark fruit with that distinctive floral lift that makes the variety so recognizable. Herdade do Rocim farms sustainably and takes a minimal intervention approach in the cellar, allowing the unique character of both the grape and the region to shine through. For those looking to explore beyond the usual international varieties, this bottle offers a compelling introduction to one of Portugal's greatest vinous treasures – and at a price point that makes exploration even more appealing.
