Herdade do Rocim Bela Luz Tinto 2022

Herdade do Rocim Bela Luz Tinto 2022 is an inviting and characterful red wine from the heart of Alentejo, a region in Portugal renowned for its sun-drenched vineyards and authentic wines with a warm soul. It reflects the unique terroir of Herdade do Rocim, where tradition and modern winemaking go hand in hand.

The Bela Luz Tinto 2022 is crafted from indigenous grape varieties that thrive in the Mediterranean climate, with its hot days and cool nights. This contrast produces grapes with rich flavors and a refreshing balance. In the glass, the wine reveals a deep ruby color — a promise of intensity and vibrancy.

Its aroma is seductive and expressive: notes of ripe red berries, cherries, and plums intertwine with subtle spice and a hint of floral elegance. A gentle mineral touch adds depth and sophistication, as if the wine carries a piece of the Alentejo landscape within it.

On the palate, Bela Luz Tinto shows smoothness and harmony. The texture is refined, with soft tannins that lend a velvety feel. Flavors of red fruit linger pleasantly, supported by a fresh and balanced acidity. The overall impression is one of energy and calm at once — a wine that doesn’t shout but speaks gracefully.

The 2022 vintage stands out for its purity and lively character. It perfectly embodies Herdade do Rocim’s philosophy: respect for nature, precision in the cellar, and a pursuit of authenticity in every bottle.

“Bela Luz,” meaning “beautiful light,” is a fitting name. The wine radiates warmth, elegance, and a gentle brightness — as though it has captured the golden light of Alentejo itself. An honest, approachable wine with enough depth and personality to captivate with every sip.
