MOB Alfrocheiro Tinto 2019

This project was born from the will of three winemakers, Jorge Moreira, Francisco Olazabal and Jorge Serôdio Borges, to make a wine together. The place chosen was Dão, a region for which there was a common admiration, the result of tasting wines from the 60s and 70s, which surprised people with their elegance and freshness. The remarkable identity and complexity of these wines served as inspiration for MOB wines.

Vineyard: The vineyards, a total of fifteen hectares (composed of 5ha of old vines located in Gouveia and 10ha of vines over 20 years old in Seia) are located in one of the coldest places in Dão, the foothills of Serra da Estrela, at 550 meters of altitude, planted in granite soil with the traditional grape varieties of the region.

Wine: Comes from the vineyards of Seia, vinified in stainless steel vats with 50% stems, little extraction and low temperatures. Aged for 12 months in used oak barrels of 500 liters. In our vineyards, the Alfrocheiro variety always produces delicate wines. Open color reminiscent of wines from cold climates, it has a very fine and elegant nose, with floral notes well complexed with fresh fruit. On the palate it is deceptively light as it is intense and full of character. The precision, personality and subtlety of this wine make it the most “intellectual” MOB.

Winemakers: Jorge Moreira, Francisco Olazabal and Jorge Serôdio Borges.
