Product Notes

Luis Seabra Vinhos Xisto Ilimitado Tinto is a delightful red wine hailing from Portugal. Deep garnet in colour, this wine uncloaks opulent layers of dark berry fruits on the nose. As one savours it, notes of cherry and plum evolve, complemented with undercurrents of spice and subtle minerality. Sustainable and hand-harvested, Xisto Ilimitado Tinto reflects a devotion towards authentic vineyard expression. The wine matures in aged oak barrels for 14 months, endowing it with ideal balance, complexity, and a silky finish. It's a robust, versatile choice for red-wine lovers, equally suited to a cosy evening or a sophisticated meal.

Tasting Notes

Bright garnet. High toned red and blue fruit aromas, tinged with wet stone and violets. On the palate, lush, but with bright acidity to balance the red cherry and pomegranate fruit. White pepper, slate and herbal aromas overlay the core of fruit on a juicy, fresh finish.

About the Winery

Luis Seabra Vinhos

Nestled amidst verdant vineyards, nestled amid the shifting landscape of the Douro region, Luis Seabra Vinhos stands as a testament to the passion and tenacity of its eponymous founder, Luis Seabra. Known for his quest for authenticity and unique expression in every bottle, this winery has rapidly emerged as a beacon of remarkable expertise and craftsmanship in the viticulture scene.

Luis Seabra, erstwhile winemaker at the esteemed Niepoort, embarked on this solo venture with a singular vision - to craft wines that reflect their true 'terroir,' the very soil and climate that nurtures the grapes. The result has been a captivating collection of complex and nuanced wines that are as idiosyncratic as the land from whence they came. At Seabra Vinhos, convention is gleefully flouted in favour of creativity, producing wines with compelling depth and character.

However, it's not just the wines that draw you in there's a visceral connection to the earth that one experiences while strolling through the vineyards, a reverence for nature palpable in the very air. The winery, crafted from the local schist stone, echoes this sentiment, merging flawlessly with the surrounding vineyards and invoking a sense of hardened resilience.

The wine cellar at Luis Seabra Vinhos demands special mention. Devoid of any modern intervention, this traditional cellar uses gravity to move the wine, preserving its natural essence. The indigenous yeast fermentation and extended skin contact are employed in service of the ultimate goal: producing wines that are a true reflection for their environment.

It's a must-visit for those with an affinity for fine wines, one-of-a-kind experiences and a reverence for the earth - a testament to the singular vision of a man dedicated to the craft.
