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 2024 AT HERDADE DA MINGORRA
The start of the 2024 growing cycle was marked by heavy rainfall, which allowed a good water concentration in the soil and, consequently, good plant development, with balance and vigour. Spaced rainfall in spring caused severe mildew pressure, which forced us to intervene in the vineyard, with success.
In summer, high temperatures combined with a lack of rain resulted in less uniform ripening, requiring close monitoring of each grape variety and plot. The rain that fell at the beginning of September eventually balanced things out and brought the harvest forward.
