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 an oenologist. 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.
