The 'Grés' is arguably Mingorra's greatest white wine, and for good reason. Fermented and aged in ceramic amphora, with regular lees stirring to add body and weight, this Alvarinho-Verdelho blend is stunning. Creamy top notes of yoghurt and sour cream interlace with classic Alvarinho citrus character. Expect candied lemon and salinity in the mouth. This is a modern wine, with elegance and class.

Welcome to the vibrant realm of Herdade do Mingorra, where tradition, innovation, and a deep love for winemaking come together in Portugal's captivating Alentejo region, this esteemed producer is a beacon of excellence and a recent discovery for us here at Good Pair Days whilst on a sourcing trip to Portugal. Herdade do Mingorra's tale is one steeped in heritage, where winemaking wisdom meets the pulse of modernity. The company's patriarch moved to Alentejo in the 1970s in search of farmland and now commands over 160 hectares of vineyards as well as growing olive and almond trees on his land. Their commitment to sustainable practices harmonises with a respect for nature, nurturing indigenous grape varieties that flourish under the Alentejo sun, resulting in wines that sing with the essence of the land. From robust reds that dance on the palate with rich, velvety textures to crisp and elegant whites each bottle embodies the meticulous craftsmanship and passion of Herdade do Mingorra.
