RESERVA
WHITE
Mingorra’s Reserva white is made from selected grapes of three different plots in the estate: a vineyard of Viognier, planted in 2008, and two others where the Verdelho and Alvarinho varieties have been grafted into an old vineyard from the 70s.
This blend of varieties chosen among the most noble of Alentejo, Portugal and worldwide, is the result of decades of experience and research about its adaptation to the south Alentejo clima and soils.

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 acentuated varietal feature: the red wines are concentrated, but fresh, due to the early harvest.
