Luis Seabra Granito Cru Alvarinho 2021

Luis Seabra made his name as winemaker for Niepoort, before leaving to set up his own project in 2013. Seabra’s idea was to make uncompromising wines: the sort he wanted to make, without thinking about what the market wants. He wanted to create authentic expressions of these regions.

100% Alvarinho, sustainably grown vines planted back in 1989 located in Monçao e Melgaço in Vinho Verde, the birthplace of Alvarinho. Brilliant straw colour. On the nose, high toned and mineral driven aromas of lemon peel, green apple, lemongrass, and seashells. On the palate, impressive weight combined with laser-focused acidity. Incisive flavors of lemon, unripe peach, green apple, green mango are at the core, with focused and pervasive mineral notes.
