ROCHA
Quinta da Ribeira is located in Meca, in the medieval
council of Alenquer, and is nowadays headquarters of
Sociedade Agrícola Félix Rocha. This society began
wine production in the mid XIX century, by the strengh
of enthusiasm of Mr. Felix Rocha, grandfather of the
present managers.
The fourth generation of the family recognized, since
1991, the need for continuous investment in the production.
There has been a complete restoration of the
vineyards and the cellar.
Nowadays it explores several hectares of vines, distributed
between Quinta da Ribeira, Quinta do Casal do
Mato, Quinta do Casal Novo, Quinta de São Cristovão,
Quinta do Baracho, Quinta das Sete Pedras, Quinta da
Amoreira and Quinta do Morais.
We have a global concern about the environment so we
work in an integrated protection system.
The Sociedade Agrícola Félix Rocha Cellar went through
a major technological remodeling in 2003. In addition
to the full modernization of vinification equipment
it was also actualized the harvesting, enabling a partial
mechanical Harvest of the grapes.
We have, therefore, the best conditions for making high
quality wines, in the vinification process as well as in
ageing process, for which a special room was created,
allowing the wine to age in oak barrels.
The vineyards are planted in clay and limestone soils, in
smooth steep hillsides with a solar exposure to the
south. In these vineyards one can find national like
Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz (Aragonez),
Fernão Pires, Arinto, Viosinho and Moscatel, and
internacional varieties like Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot,
Alicante Bouschet, Caladoc, Pinot Noir, Cabernet
Sauvignon e Sauvignon Blanc.
