About this winery

M.O.B is an exciting collaboration between three renowned Douro winemakers: Jorge Moreira (Poeira), Francisco Olazabal (Quinta do Vale Meão) and Jorge Serôdio Borges (Wine & Soul).

MOB, short for Moreira, Olazabal and Borges, is the Dão joint venture from Poeira’s Jorge Moreira, Quinta do Vale Meão’s Francisco Olazabal and Wine & Soul’s Jorge Serôdio Borges. MOB already registered in the US! Alves de Sousa invited them. Some Dão producers accused them of making chocolate bombs but in fact they went for cool vineyards and seek freshness and lightness. They love the more transparent Dãos. They’ve taken out a 15-year lease, and have 20-year-old Touriga Nacional, Jaen, Baga and Alfrocheiro vines. Wine based on acid not tannins. The three guys love to get together and gossip and taste so long that they forget to decide what they meant to!
Light and fresh and zesty. Damson fruit. Certainly lots of acidity but fresh and fine. Clean and fun.
