2024 Luis Seabra, Douro Branco, Xisto Ilimitado - Magnum

Luis Seabra established his independent winery in 2013 after a decade of leading winemaking programs at prominent Douro estates, shifting the regional focus toward site-specific, lower-intervention table wines. This bottling is made from a blend of Rabigato, Gouveio, Códega, and Viosinho vines, aged between 30 and 60 years and rooted in the region's characteristic high-altitude mica and schist soils. In the glass, it presents focused aromas of pear blossom and lemon zest supported by a distinct, stony minerality and a persistent saline finish. The 2024 vintage provided the necessary cool-climate conditions to maintain this vibrant tension and structural clarity. This magnum is an ideal choice for current consumption, offering immediate approachability and a balanced expression of the Douro’s diverse upland terroir.
