Vale da Mata is a red wine from the Lisboa wine region of Portugal, produced by Herdade do Rocim. It's celebrated for its authentic expression of the region's terroir, characterized by the freshness and minerality imparted by the Atlantic Ocean. This wine is typically a blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz (Aragonez), and sometimes other varietals like Syrah or Alicante Bouschet, depending on the vintage. It's distinct from the "Reserva" version by often presenting a more immediate fruit profile and less extensive oak aging, though still retaining elegance and complexity.
Vale da Mata Red Wine showcases a deep ruby or garnet hue, offering a fine, complex aroma of red and black fruits like cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, alongside hints of fresh minerality and subtle spices. On the palate, it's well-balanced and elegant, with smooth tannins and vibrant acidity that lead to a long, persistent finish. This versatile red wine pairs excellently with grilled red meats, hearty pasta dishes with meat sauces, roasts, and traditional Portuguese cuisine.
<p></p><p>Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velhas is a result of the passion to display the individuality and character that the creators of this project have with the Douro region for more than two decades.

In 2017, Lua Cheia has extended its presence into other Portuguese wine region – Dão.</p>
