O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2021
This wine has an open color that reminds you of wines from cold climates. It has a very fine and elegant nose, with well-balanced floral notes with fresh fruit. In the mouth it is deceptively light because it shows to be an intense wine and full of character.
The vineyards, in a total of fifteen hectares, ten located in Seia and five in Gouveia composed of old vineyards, are located in one of the colder places of the region, at the foot of the Serra da Estrela. The conjunction of altitude, soils, and the grape varieties of the estate convinced us that it would be the right place to move on. The wine M.O.B. Alfrocheiro comes from the vineyards of Seia, vinified in stainless steel vats with 50% of stalks, low extraction and low temperatures. It aged for 12 months in used 500-liter oak barrels. In our vineyards, the Alfrocheiro grape variety always produces delicate wines. The precision, personality and subtlety of this wine makes it in the most “intellectual” MOB.

M.O.B.
This project – M.O.B. (Moreira, Olazabal e Borges) – was born from the will of three winemakers, Jorge Moreira, Francisco Olazabal and Jorge Serôdio Borges who wanted to make a wine together. The Dão wine region was chosen due to our common admiration for old wines and was born during a tasting of wines from the ’60s and 70’s decade, which surprised us with their elegance and freshness. The Identity and complexity of these wines are, in fact, remarkable and served as an element of inspiration to create our MOB wines, whether white or red.
