Description

Luis Seabra Xisto Ilimitado Branco 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: Field blend of 60% Rabigato, 15% Gouveio, 15% Codega, 10% Viosinho. The fruit comes from a vineyard with average age of 50 years from Douro, Portugal

Taste Profile: On the nose, stone and orchard fruit dominate with flinty wet stone and white pepper laid over the dominant aromatics. On the palate the wine is impressively bright and mineral driven, with flavours of lemon, green apple and pear with a touch of floral notes and minerality.

Winemaking Process: Aged on lees in French oak for 7 months, undergoing full malolactic fermentation

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
