Quinta da Ribeira is located in Meca, in the old medieval council of Montes de Alenquer, and is nowadays headquarters of Sociedade Agrícola Félix Rocha. This society began producing wine in the mid XIX century, by the strength of enthusiasm of Mr. Félix Rocha, great grandfather of the present managers. The 3rd generation of the family recognized the need of improvement in the quality productivity, investing since 1991 in the complete restructuring of the vineyards and cellar. Nowadays explores several hectares of vines, comprised in Quinta da Ribeira, Quinta do Casal do Mato, Quinta do Casal Novo, Quinta de São Cristóvão, Quinta do Baracho, Quinta das Sete Pedras, Quinta do Morais, and Quinta da Amoreira. The vineyards are planted in clay-calcareous soils, in smooth steep hillsides with south solar exposition; some plants are over 20 years old. In these vineyards one can find national varieties like Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Aragonez and Castelão, and international varieties such as Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Alicante Bouschet, Caladoc, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon.The white varieties include Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and Sauvingon Blanc, as well as the national varieties Fernão Pires, Moscatel, Alvarinho and Arinto. The Sociedade Agrícola Félix Rocha cellar’s went through a major technological remodeling in 2003. In addition to the full modernization of wine-making equipment it has 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 wine-making process as well as in the ageing process, for which was created a special room for the wine ageing in oak barrels.
