MOB Garrafeira Tinto 2016

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: It has an intense and highly complex aroma, highlighting the contribution of old vines of traditional varieties from the region. The aromatic profile is dominated by very ripe black and red fruits, complemented by tertiary notes of forest, resin and pine needles, suggesting controlled evolution in the bottle. The palate reveals great concentration and depth, balanced by firm acidity and fine tannins, with a smooth and juicy vegetal profile. Elegant structure, with an enveloping texture and a long, persistent and harmonious finish. A wine for laying down, with excellent potential for evolution
