O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2024
It is a wine with a beautiful golden colour given by the ripeness and richness of the Encruzado and Bical grapes. The subtle aromas are dominated by a complex bouquet of white fruits, herbs and minerality. In the mouth it has an opulent impact, but thanks to its great acidity it becomes very balanced and long.
The vineyards, totalling fifteen hectares, ten located in Seia and five in Gouveia made up of old vines, are situated in one of the coldest places in the region, at the foot of the Serra da Estrela. The combination of altitude, soils and the grape varieties on the property convinced us that it would be the right place to go. The M.O.B red Lote 3 wine was fermented in small stainless steel vats and oak barrels. It was aged for eight months in barrels, with slight battonage. This white wine “winks” at the past with its complex and austere aromas that do not fit with conventional clear aromatic whites.

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.
