M.O.B Branco 2017W I N E D E S C R I P T I O NThe leading vineyard, Quinta do Corujão, sits at an altitude of 1,640 feet beside Portugal'shighest mountain range, Serra da Estrela. The vines in this area are planted in poor graniticsoils, forcing their roots to dig deep in search of water and other nutrients. Cool, brisk airgraces the vineyards at nightfall, encouraging elevated levels of natural acidity, while the soilsimpart a refined mineral character to the final wines: a combination that is unmistakably Dão.The trio aims to utilize an organic approach in the vineyards and hone their skills together, asa team, to create wines with true varietal character, unassailable elegance, and a compellingpresence that would be difficult to refuse.
T A S T I N G N O T E SA blend of Encruzado and Bical from 25 year old vines fermented in 30 percent new and 70percent used French oak barrels. Aged for 8 months on the lees with slight batonnage, thewine displays a beautiful golden color. The nose is mysterious, with notes of flint andminerality, arising among white fruit and flowery aromas. Very elegant on the palate, with finetexture and lively acidity. A wine with unique character that will continue to evolve over yearsin the bottle.
F O O D P A I R I N GThis wine pairs perfectly with grilled fish dishes. Try a robalo grelhado (grilled seabass)accompanied by a light salada mista (mixed salad). Shellfish also pairs well, such as sapateira(stone crab) mexilhões (mussels) and ameijoas (clams) as well as soft and creamy sheep andgoats milk cheese.
