With the Mono A, he turns his focus to the Alfrocheiro grape, treating the fruit with a restraint that reveals the intrinsic vibrancy hidden within these rugged, schist-heavy sites.\n\nThe 2021 vintage provided a cool, measured growing season, resulting in a profile that feels poised and lifted rather than overworked or dense.  On the palate, the wine moves with the graceful, fluid motion of mountain air, delivering subtle, savory mineral tones that persist long after the first sip.\n\nThis is an essential study in how deep conviction and minimal intervention can elevate even the most singular expressions of place.","brand":"Ole Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46148202070264,"sku":"15451","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/5-6-25productshots-558.jpg?v=1757110713"},{"product_id":"luis-seabra-mono-c-douro-2","title":"2021 Luis Seabra, Douro, Mono C","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCastelao is a dark-skinned variety that can show a number of faces.

Luis Seabra is one of the superstar new wave growers to emerge from Portugal during the last decade, and his wines are pleasure-driven benchmarks that proudly show Luis’ skill in winemaking. Polished, clean, and soulful from a field blend of very old vines in the Douro Valley, where they used to only make port but during the past decade, we’ve learned that you can make very compelling reds. From a sustainably farmed single vineyard of blue schist soils at 1500 ft elevation in the Douro, planted since 1950.

This is a rare, single-vineyard wine from the \"Xisto Cru\" vineyard, a truly magical place that showcases the unique terroir of the Douro. Made with a field blend of indigenous white grapes, primarily Rabigato, from vines planted between 1920 and 1933. Grown on mica schist soils at high elevations (650-700m) using sustainable viticulture practices. Fermented with indigenous yeasts to preserve the purity of the fruit and terroir. Perfect roast chicken wine or with sauteed prawns. This is powerful, but still fresh and finishes so long. Ringer for white Burgundy in terms of texture, length, complexity.

Spontaneously fermented in a mix of 90% neutral French oak and 10% stainless steel, the wine ages for a year on its lees without battonage to prioritize structural tension over primary aromatics. The fruit is sourced from high-altitude mica-schist sites (500–600m) in the Cima Corgo, where the 2023 vintage’s uncharacteristically mild summer and steady ripening cycle preserved high-acid nerve and a compact mid-palate density. Anchored by Rabigato and Gouveio, this field blend exhibits a fine-grained, phenolic texture and a persistent saline finish that mirrors the mineral velocity of the region's schistous sub-strata.
