Tinto 2018\u003cbr\u003eW I N E D E S C R I P T I O N\u003cbr\u003eM.O.B., located in the Serra d'Estrela district of eastern Dão, is not a name that should incite\u003cbr\u003efear, but curiosity. This daring joint venture is named for the three talented winemakers behind\u003cbr\u003eit all: Jorge Moreira of Poeira, Francisco Olazabal from Quinta do Vale Meão, and Jorge Serôdio\u003cbr\u003eBorges of Quinta do Passadouro and Wine \u0026amp; Soul. The close-knit trio may have deep roots in\u003cbr\u003ethe neighboring Douro Valley, but they unite under one desire: to represent the Dão in the\u003cbr\u003etruest form. While some winemakers in this region are mimicking a bolder Douro style, M.O.B.\u003cbr\u003eaims to craft wines that are intense, yet elegant: a style emblematic of the land.\u003cbr\u003eThe leading vineyard, Quinta do Corujão, sits at an altitude of 1,640 feet beside Portugal's\u003cbr\u003ehighest mountain range, Serra da Estrela. The vines in this area are planted in poor granitic\u003cbr\u003esoils, forcing their roots to dig deep in search of water and other nutrients. Cool, brisk air\u003cbr\u003egraces the vineyards at nightfall, encouraging elevated levels of natural acidity, while the soils\u003cbr\u003eimpart a refined mineral character to the final wines: a combination that is unmistakably Dão.\u003cbr\u003eThe trio aims to utilize an organic approach in the vineyards and hone their skills together, as a\u003cbr\u003eteam, to create wines with true varietal character, unassailable elegance, and a compelling\u003cbr\u003epresence that would be difficult to refuse.\u003cbr\u003eT A S T I N G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine with a beautiful violet color, very intense aromas of cassis, bergamot orange, and\u003cbr\u003ewild flowers. On the palate, it is fresh with soft tannins and pleasant acidity complimented by its\u003cbr\u003evelvety texture. A complex wine full of character that will evolve beautifully in the bottle over\u003cbr\u003ethe coming years.\u003cbr\u003eF O O D P A I R I N G\u003cbr\u003eFor fresh and fruitier reds, enjoy them with the grilled meats and and even some types of\u003cbr\u003ebacalhau (saltcod) dishes that are on the heavier side, such as bacalhau com natas (saltcod\u003cbr\u003e“potato gratin”), bacalhau à gomes de sá (shredded saltcod baked with onions, potatoes and\u003cbr\u003etopped with boiled eggs, olives and parsley) or bacalhau com broa (baked saltcod crusted with\u003cbr\u003ea local cornbread). M.O.B. Tinto also pairs well with some Portuguese sheep’s milk cheeses,\u003cbr\u003esuch as Castelo Branco.\u003cbr\u003eV I N E Y A R D \u0026amp; P R O D U C T I O N I N F O\u003cbr\u003eW I N E M A K I N G \u0026amp; A G I N G\u003cbr\u003eA N A LY T I C A L D A TA\u003cbr\u003eP R O D U C E R P R O F I L E\u003cbr\u003eEstate owned by: Jorge Moreira, Francisco\u003cbr\u003eOlazabal and Jorge Borges\u003cbr\u003eWinemaker: Jorge Moreira, Francisco\u003cbr\u003eOlazabal and Jorge Borges\u003cbr\u003eTotal acreage under vine: 38\u003cbr\u003eEstate founded: 2011\u003cbr\u003eWinery production: 4,000 Bottles\u003cbr\u003eRegion: DOC Dão\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Portugal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M.O.B","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43838498603232,"sku":"114968","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/mob-tinto_1.jpg?v=1675442182","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/m-o-b-tinto-2015-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
