Description

Luis Seabra Xisto Cru Tinto 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: Old vine field blend of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca, and Alicante Bouchet, among others. Comes from the Douro Valley, Portugal

Taste Profile: Dark ruby. On the nose, mineral driven aromas of red berries, forest floor, green herbs and smoke. On the palate, lively acidity cuts through a core of fraise de bois, ripe strawberry and sour cherry, with excellent cut and precision to the wet stone and dusty mineral on the finish.

Winemaking Process: Fermented in old Port barrels & aged in French oak

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
