Product Notes

Luis Seabra Vinhos Granito Cru Alvarinho is a remarkably rich and resplendent white wine hailing from Portugal. Its sophisticated character is marked by a fragrant bouquet of apple blossom, ripe pear, and a subtle hint of crisp citrus. Upon tasting, it possesses a refined minerality, wholly balanced by a creamy texture and invigorating acidity that results in a long, impressive finish. Ageing in old wooden vessels endows it with a complex, layered profile, making this Alvarinho a true gem for discerning wine enthusiasts. It is an ideal pairing for a plethora of seafood and white meat dishes.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant straw. On the nose, high toned and mineral driven aromas of lemon peel, green apple, lemongrass and seashells. On the palate, impressive weight combined with laser-focused acidity. Incisive flavors of lemon, unripe peach, green apple, green mango are at the core, with focused and pervasive mineral notes.

About the Winery

Nestled amidst the captivating landscapes of Douro Valley, Portugal, lies the riveting Luis Seabra Vinhos winery. Established by the eponymous oenologist, Luis Seabra, it embodies not just a wine-making facility, but a dream. For Luis, who formerly served as the winemaker at Niepoort, establishing his own winery marked a shift in focus from mass-production to a more intimate and personalised wine creation process.

Strewn across 42 acres, it marries the traditional charm of Portuguese wine-making aesthetics with modern, technologically advanced methodologies. The vineyards, bathed in pristine sunlight and underpinned by distinctive schist soil. Each vine, cultivated with meticulous care, bears the essence of the unique terroir and, consequently, injects the wines with profound nuance and character.

At Luis Seabra Vinhos, wine-making is not just a mechanical process, its a contemplative art form. Luis himself oversees the entire process, right from the grape picking to the final bottling, ensuring each bottle is a testament to his commitment and passion. Unlike other wineries that tend to favour a particular type of grape, Luis Seabra Vinhos asserts no such partialities. Rather, the viniculture thrives on an impressive variety of native Portuguese grapes including Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Franca among others.

The end product is a collection of captivating wines. Ranging from elegant whites that sing of citrusy undertones to robust reds that boast of spicy warmth, every wine is reflective of Luis’ mission to stay in tune with nature's rhythm.

That being said, Luis Seabra Vinhos is more than a winery; it’s a destination for wine lovers! Visitors are guaranteed to be enchanted by the aesthetically pleasing facilities, halcyon landscapes, and of course, the irresistible wines.

In sum, Luis Seabra Vinhos represents an embodiment of the spirit of authentic Portuguese winemaking: traditional yet unafraid to push boundaries, deeply personal yet universally appealing, rooted in time-honoured tradition, but seamlessly weaving in innovation every step of the way.
