M.O.B. Lote 3 Tinto 2022
Region: Dão
Producer: MOB - Moreira, Olazabal & Borges
Why we chose this wine
The vineyards, for 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, 550 meters of altitude, planted in granitic soil with the traditional grape varieties of the region.
Lote 3 comes from three vineyards located in Gouveia and Seia. It was vinified in stainless steel vats, with gentle extractions. It aged for 12 months in used oak barrels of 225 liters.
This is a classic Dão, with a modern approach. Light in colour, fresh and easy to drink, and thanks to innovations in current viticulture and oenology, it also contains good balance, aromatic beauty and fruit intensity on the palate.

Waar serveer je ’m bij?
From the coldest corner of the Dão, at five hundred and fifty metres against the foothills of the Serra da Estrela. That altitude keeps the acidity upright while the grapes still ripen fully. Twelve months in used casks give texture without oak flavour: rounder in the mouth, but you still taste the three grapes and not the barrel.
