Having been colleagues and friends since their oenology university days they decided to take their friendship to the next level and make wine together, but outside of the Douro and in a region which they all feel has incredible potential for producing quality wines with ageing potential. This region is in the Dão Valley, where the poor granite soils and the marked cool nights produce pure, linear style wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trio bought the 10-hectare Seia vineyard which, is one of the latest ripening Dấo vineyards, preserving all the freshness and fruit allowing the team to make very delicate wines. The winemakers have recently extended their holdings in the elevated Serra da Estrela sub-region, acquiring five hectares of very old vines in Gouveia. They utilise an organic approach in the vineyards and hone their skills together, as a team, to create wines with true varietal character and unassailable elegance. With a host of new wines, this exciting collaboration goes from strength to strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mob-lote-3-branco-dao","title":"M.O.B Lote 3 Branco 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe M.O.B project was born from the will of three winemakers, Jorge Moreira, Francisco Olazabal and Jorge Serôdio Borges who wanted to make a wine together.
