Seabra Xisto Ilimitado Tinto 2021
$36.00Add to cartA delicious red from Luis Seabra (possibly the single most important Portuguese producer of the last two decades) who has spent the last years leading a moment of young, independent winemakers to explore historical vineyards, indigenous grapes, and old techniques. His own goal is to prove that the Douro can produce terroir-driven still wines through minimal intervention in the vineyards and winery (on top of an encyclopedic understanding of both). This “cru” is a field blend from schist heavy soils. This Touriga Franca driven blend comes from sustainably farmed vineyards in Cima Corgo. The wine aromas are high toned with red and blue fruit, wet stones, and violets. The palate is a little more red than blue, think cherry and pomegranate while white pepper, slate, and herbs sit on top of the juicy fruit. Ultimately a fresh and delicious choice.
