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 2022 AT HERDADE DA MINGORRA
The 2022 wine year was one of the most challenging both in the vineyard and winery. The mild temperatures at the end of winter and beginning of spring led to an early vines budburst, followed by a hot and dry summer that resulted in very heterogeneous ripening from variety to variety, and even within the same variety, with different behaviours depending on where they were planted
The harvest took place with advances and stops, in order to pick all the grapes with the perfect balance between acids and sugars. The daily tasting of the berries in the field and the precise scheduling of the various stages were decisive for the balance of the musts and the success of the harvest.
