Herdade da Mingorra’s red harvest is born from a selection of grapes from older plots, such as Trincadeira from 1978, and more recent, such as Touriga Nacional from 2009; planted in some of the areas with the greatest viticultural aptitude of the property. The grape varieties used, among the noblest in Alentejo and Portugal, are the result of decades of experience and study on how they behave in these soils and climate of southern Alentejo.
