MOB Gauvé Tinto 2016

This project was born from the will of three winemakers, Jorge Moreira, Francisco Olazabal and Jorge Serôdio Borges, to make a wine together. The place chosen was Dão, a region for which there was a common admiration, the result of tasting wines from the 60s and 70s, which surprised people with their elegance and freshness. The remarkable identity and complexity of these wines served as inspiration for MOB wines.

Vineyard: The vineyards, 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, at 550 meters of altitude, planted in granite soil with the traditional grape varieties of the region.

Grape Varieties: Centenary Vineyards of Gouveia.

Tasting Notes: The mixture of grape varieties found in our century-old vineyard gives Gauvé a unique and unrepeatable profile. It is a wine where freshness and elegance predominate, reflecting the main characteristics of the region.

Vinification: It comes from the vineyards of Gouveia, vinified in stainless steel barrels and vats with little extraction and at low temperatures. Aged for 24 months in used French oak barrels.

Winemakers: Jorge Moreira, Francisco Olazabal and Jorge Serôdio Borges.
