M.O.B Branco 2022
W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N
The leading vineyard, Quinta do Corujão, sits at an altitude of 1,640 feet beside Portugal's
highest mountain range, Serra da Estrela. The vines in this area are planted in poor granitic
soils, forcing their roots to dig deep in search of water and other nutrients. Cool, brisk air
graces the vineyards at nightfall, encouraging elevated levels of natural acidity, while the soils
impart 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, as a
team, to create wines with true varietal character, unassailable elegance, and a compelling
presence that would be difficult to refuse.
The Dão wine region was chosen due to our shared admiration for old wines and was born
during a tasting of wines from the ’60s and 70’s decade, which surprised us with their elegance
and freshness. The Identity and complexity of these wines are remarkable and served as an
element of inspiration to create our MOB wines, whether white or red. In a total of fifteen
hectares, ten located in Seia and five composed by old vines in Gouveia, are situated in one of
the colder sites of the region, in the foothills of “Serra da Estrela”, the conjunction of altitude,
soils, and the grape varieties of the property convinced us that it would be the right place to
move forward.
This Senna is fermented in small stainless steel tanks and oak barrels (30 % new and the
remaining used). It is aged for eight months with slight battonage.
T A S T I N G N O T E S
A beautiful golden color, with a nose full of aroma, with notes of gunpowder and minerality to
arise between the fruity and floral. In the mouth, it is very rich, with great texture and very lively
acidity. A white with a strong personality to go discovering in the coming years.
F O O D P A I R I N G
This 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 and
goats milk cheese.

Shipping & Delivery Policy

Our Shipping & Delivery Policy

Yiannis Wine ships orders through FedEx. The shipping fees vary depending on where in the U.S your shipment is going. For any questions or concerns regarding shipment pricing and restrictions please feel free to contact us directly. We are able to ship to all but the following states: Utah, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. With some of these states, for example Alabama, we are able to ship to an ABC store nearest to you.

It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!

Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.

We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.

Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.

There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.

Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.

While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.

Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.

Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)

Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."

Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.

Sometimes an order is returned to our warehouse after several delivery attempts at the address provided by the customer. We are happy to reship the order however, reshipment fees will apply. Please contact us and we will assist you with the reshipment arrangements.

We are happy to assist with any returns for items purchased that you no longer want or need. Please let us know and we will arrange for the return and issue a credit or refund for your returned items, less the return shipping and handling charges.

We offer some of the most diverse wines in the business, and we are happy to help you choose wines and provide recommendations by our sommeliers if you desire. Everyone has different tastes and Yiannis Wine will not be held responsible for customer choice. While ratings, testimonials, and reviews may influence your decision, the ultimate judgement is yours.
