Luis Seabra Xisto Ilimitado Branco 2019

$48.00

The 2019 is a blend of Rabigato 60%, Viosinho 20%, Gouveio 15% and Códega 5 % coming from several plots of small 35-60 year old vines on mica schist soils at 500-600m in Meda, the Douro Superior. The Cima Corgo subregion is noted for extreme highs and lows in temperature. These stressed vines produce low yields, and grapes that produce insanely wild aromatics and with brilliant acidity.

All the fermentation is natural, Luis achieves purity, his wines are exactly what the vineyards give him. Minerality drives this white – wet flinty stones mix with fresh nectarine, white peach, and Bartlett pear on the nose. A bright lifted palate follows, packed full of fresh picked orchard fruits and more stony minerals. Xisto Ilimitado Branco is graceful and powerful all at once, without ever coming across as heavy. Long and seamless across the tongue, and laced with mouth-watering wet stone that sucks you back in for more.
