WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mingorra Vinho Tinto Licoroso is produced by Herdade da Mingorra in the Alentejo region of Portugal. As a Vinho Tinto Licoroso, the winemaking process involves fortification, a technique where fermentation is arrested by the addition of grape spirits. This process results in a wine with a higher alcohol content and preserved residual sugar. While specific grape varieties, fermentation details, and aging processes are not detailed, the producer's approach combines traditional winemaking methods with modern technology. The estate emphasizes sustainability in its practices.
