Product Notes

Luis Seabra Vinhos Indie Xisto is a compellingly distinct Portuguese wine. This wine exudes a complex bouquet with hints of wild red fruit, floral undertones and mineral notes. Its palate mirrors this, transitioning from cheery strawberry notes to crisp acidity and subtle tannins.

Sourced from 45-year-old vines and aged in old French oak barrels for about 20 months, this wine incredibly imparts subtlety, elegance and character. A truly exceptional wine, Vinhos Indie Xisto is a testimony to Luis Seabra's impressive winemaking skills.

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.
