Touriga Franca is one of the varieties from the Douro region that has adapted extremely well to the soil and climate of Herdade da Mingorra. Planted since 2021 on the schist soils of Vinha da Barragem, this grape variety was the natural choice for our first white wine made from red grapes, due to the youth of the vineyard and its elegant fruity expression. In order to preserve the acidity and elegance of the fruit, the grapes were harvested manually in the cool of the early morning and gently pressed. Fermented at low temperature, the wine was then aged in stainless steel tanks, on fine lees. After resting for more than six months in the bottle, it proved to be entirely up to our expectations and the commitment we made to include it in Mingorra’s M line.
