The Moreish project was born in 2013 in the Dão region and became itinerant, with wines made from various places. "We are from the place where we live and from other places we pass through."

The project began where Luís Lopes worked as a winemaker. Time and people contributed to the selection of distinct terroirs and to a better understanding of these vineyards. Moreish wines express the grape varieties and terroirs, respecting their origins, and take on different forms depending on the people, regions, and grape varieties with which they are made.

Moreish 3 Raimundos 2024

Serra da Estrela, Portugal. Red wine (without DOC, but full of origin)

Description

Moreish 3 Raimundos comes from a vineyard located on the northern border of Serra da Estrela, at an altitude of about 700 meters, on sandy granite soils, in a single plot planted in 1930. "3 Raimundos" is the nickname of the three generations of winegrowers: the great-grandfather who planted the vineyards, the grandfather who still cares for them, and the grandson who follows in his footsteps.

The field blend contains several red grape varieties, some of which are identifiable, including Ferral, Marufo, Baga, and Rufete. After 5 days of cold maceration, fermentation took place in open lagares for two weeks, followed by pressing and aging in used 500-liter barrels.

Sandy granite, field blend, spontaneous fermentation, 16 months of lees aging, without fining.
