MGR1-W - Alentejo - Antão Vaz, Verdelho & Viognier - 12.5%

Wine Making: Fermentation I stainless steel wine vats. With a controlled temperature of 14°C. No oak used.

Tasting Notes: One of the best things about Alentejo as a wine region is that it is free to blend indigenous & international grape varieties to create wines of real quality & unique character. You can’t get a grape more local than Antão Vaz in this part of Alentejo but when you combine it with the richness of Viognier you get an entry level wine that punches well above its price. This white wine is packed full of pear & lemon curd on the nose that makes your mouth water straight away. On the palate it has a smooth texture & richness combined with easy acidity that gives this white good length & liveliness. If you like well-priced wine that has an abundance of white & tropical fruit & a deep mouthfeel then this is the wine for you.

Food Pairing: A very good food pairing. Think of fresh salads, Thai cuisine , grilled BBQ flavours like chicken piri-piri, Mediterranean vegetables, fish & shellfish .

Serving Temperature: 8°C

MGR1-RS - Alentejo - Syrah - 12.5%

Tasting Notes: A pretty, elegant rosé wine with a bright colour, in the palate red fruit such as strawberries, shows with a medium to dry structure on the palate. Easy to drink by itself or with some spicy food. We adore the uplifting freshness & “by the beach” feeling when drinking this wine.

Food Pairing: Sushi, Vietnamese & fish ‘n’ chips are all good matches. It is also great with snacks such as biltong, jerky or edamame beans.

MGR1-R - Alentejo - Trincadeira, Aragonez & Alicante Bouschet - 14%

Wine Making: Traditional fermentation in stainless steel vats at 26°C. Longer maceration for 15 to 20 days with no barrel aging.

Tasting Notes: Terras d’ Uva red is a welcome addition to our portfolio as we firmly believe that Portugal needs great entry level wines to give the public confidence in their wines. This is no exception & it is a wine that shows the character of the Alentejo terroir with its hot sandy plains. This lovely red is ultimately quaffable as an every day red that is good by itself & even better with a meal. Vibrant, fresh fruit on the nose & on the palate that evolves to a herbaceous greener side with medium length & a slight spicy texture. Nice balanced tannins that really make this more than a fruit bomb red.

Food Pairing: Rosemary, garlic & lemon vegetables or pork skewers. Try it with traditional Cornish pasty, pies, grilled burgers & pizza.

Serving Temperature: 18C. Shelf time 2 -3 years.

MGR2-W - Alentejo - Antão Vaz & Verdelho - 12.5%

Tasting Notes: The warmth of Southern Alentejo & interesting complexity is combined with freshness & intensity in this well balanced white. Each varietal is very distinct with its aromas but they combine wonderfully to give the drinker a great experience of a young wine with the character of & an older vintage. Mingorra is a wine with presence, where notes of ripe peaches, melon & some mature white fruit are well combined. On the palate it has a silky mouthfeel with some white pepper & crispness on the long finish. Crunchy acidity & texture in your palate comes from both Antão Vaz & Verdelho. The batonnage gives the structure & elegance that the blend requires. Fabulous food friendly wine.
