Mingorra’s Reserva red is made from selected grapes of three different plots in the estate: old vineyards of Alicante Bouschet from the 80s; Touriga Nacional grafted in old vineyards in the early 2000s; and a Syrah plot planted in 2005.
A blend with varieties among the most noble of Alentejo, Portugal and worldwide, this wine is the result of decades of experience and research about its adaptation to the south Alentejo clima and soils.

VINTAGE OF 2021 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.
