COLHEITA
RED
Herdade da Mingorra’s Colheita red is the result of a selection of grapes from older plots, such as the 1978 Trincadeira, and more recent ones, such as the 2009 Touriga Nacional; planted in some of the property’s most suitable wine-growing areas.
The varieties used, among the noblest in the Alentejo region and Portugal, are the result of decades of experience and study into how they behave in the soils and climate of southern Alentejo.

VINTAGE OF 2023 AT HERDADE DA MINGORRA
The year 2023 was extremely dry, with absence of rain during all winter, spring and summer. It was probably the driest year we can remember. The hot spring led to low plant vigor, strains full of clusters, but both small bunches and berries.
The production per hectare was low, originating an early harvest – for the first time, we harvested in august only – yet with grapes well-riped and in great sanitary conditions. The white wines reveal a good acid balance and an accentuated varietal feature; the red wines are concentrated, but fresh, due to the early harvest.
