Rocaille Wine
Produced in limited quantities, Rocaille is committed to excellence at every stage of the process, from cultivation to bottling, using natural methods and minimal chemical intervention. The result is clear, pure wines with rich aromas and flavors.
Rocaille wine is born at Quinta do Outeiro, from its vineyards and a state-of-the-art winery. Its name is inspired by the ornamental structures of the estate’s historic gardens, created around 1906.
Location and Microclimate
The estate is located in a unique position, on a hill overlooking the Douro Valley, creating a distinctive microclimate that is especially beneficial to the Rocaille vineyards of Quinta do Outeiro. 12
The Wine
In the cultivation and maintenance of our vineyards, we use only minimal levels of chemical herbicides. During pruning, vine canes are not burned; instead, the vine residues are placed between the vines on the soil. As they decompose, they act as a natural fertilizer, respecting and supporting the environment.
Grape Varieties
Rocaille wine is the result of a careful selection of grapes suited to the soil and terroir, combining seven varieties — Chardonnay, Arinto, and Loureiro (white), and Tinta Roriz, Sousão, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah (red) — to create a unique wine full of character.
