Tasting Notes

Bright straw yellow. On the nose, stone and orchard fruit abound, with flinty wet stone and white pepper laid over the dominant aromatics. On the palate, impressively bright and mineral driven, with a great balance between power and lift. Lemon, green apple, bosc pear flavors comingle with a touch of floral tone and slate minerals. Juicy and mineral-driven all at once.

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.
