GRÉS
Alvarinho and Verdelho are two varieties that, although not originally from the Alentejo, have found the right conditions in the soil and climate of Herdade da Mingorra to develop their best qualities.
Harvested by hand and fermented separately with indigenous yeasts in microporous ceramic amphorae, produced by hand in Italy, to preserve and enhance these varietal characteristics. The material and shape of the amphorae allowed us to achieve greater varietal expression with less intervention.

VINTAGE OF 2022 AT HERDADE DA MINGORRA
The 2022 wine year was one of the most challenging poth in the vineyaro 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 narves
