LUIS SEABRA Xisto Ilimitado Branco - Douro Valley 2024 Bottle SUS

Description

For nearly two decades, Luís Seabra has been at the center of a cultural shift in Portuguese winemaking, leading a movement of young, independent winemakers making history by reclaiming historical vineyards, grape varieties, and techniques. His fundamental understanding of soil coupled with his philosophy of minimal intervention have launched him into the international eye as a leader of the New Portugal; according to Eric Asimov, he “is now making some of Portugal’s most compelling wines, both white and red.”

Xisto Ilimitado Branco is a blend of 70% Rabigato, 20% Gouveio, 5% Viosinho and 5% Códega planted on high elevation mica schist in Douro Superieur.

Its aroma immediately captivates with notes of fresh citrus, crisp green apple,wet stone and a distinct mineral freshness. The palate delivers a crisp, energetic experience. Zesty lemon and grapefruit flavours mingle with a subtle saline quality and refreshing acidity, giving it remarkable tension. The finish is long, dry, and incredibly zesty, leaving a mouthwatering impression that encourages another sip. This is a wonderfully refreshing and precise white, perfect for immediate enjoyment and an excellent companion to seafood.
