ABOUT THIS WINE
Herdade da Mingorra's Colheita Rosé is a 2022 vintage wine from the Vinho Regional Alentejano (PGI) appellation in Portugal. It is primarily made from the Touriga Nacional grape, with some sources indicating Syrah as a component. The estate, founded by Henrique Uva, is a family-run business in the Baixo Alentejo region, focusing on wines from its own vineyards. The vineyards are adapted to the local climate, with some dating back to the late 1970s, while the winemaking project itself commenced in 2004. This rosé is distinctive for its use of Touriga Nacional and its origin from an estate with a long-standing connection to Alentejo's viticultural past.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mingorra Colheita Rosé undergoes a winemaking process that begins with light maceration of the grapes, followed by gentle pressing. The resulting juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 12°C. This technique is employed to preserve the wine's freshness and aromatic profile. The wine is typically aged in stainless steel, allowing its varietal characteristics and regional expression to remain prominent.
