O Produtor, tasting note published in June 15th 2024
On the nose, stone fruit and orchard fruit abound, with a moist core and white pepper on the dominant aromas. On the palate, it is impressively bright and minerally, with a great balance between power and lift. Lemon, green apple and pear flavours blend with a touch of floral and slate mineral tones. It is a juicy and mineral wine at the same time.
Xisto Unlimited White goes wonderfully with roasted poultry, white fish and seafood, and especially with the spiciest preparations.
In the Douro region where there is a great diversity of grape varieties planted in different terrain structures, terraces, slopes, plateaus, plateaus, shale is the common denominator. This is the starting point for Xisto Ilimitado, a quest that tries to express the different nuances of different plots in the Mêda area that have in common the mica schist soils, the high altitude and a predominance of the rabigato grape variety. The grapes were crushed and destemmed before pressing without any
maceration. The must obtained was decanted at low temperature for
24/48 hours. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts took place in
500 and 228 litres barrels, 30% of the wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. Ageing
total ageing period was 9 months.

Luís Seabra
After many years working for others was time to follow my own path, in 2013 Luis Seabra Vinhos was born, the mission is to create wines that tell about the place where they are coming from, made with a minimal intervention philosophy, respecting their nature and character. We want our wines to be able to show the different soils where the vineyards are planted, the different altitudes and exposures, their differences, and similarities With the conscience that this are just the first steps of a long road, the adventure still is to discover the old and unknown vineyards that resist over the years. We want above all to create unique wines. Over these years I developed a special relationship with some of the old vines. Those ones are not lush and their trunks mostly are not thick and imposing. On the contrary – they are slender and twisted, have their own serenity coming from age. They respond more calmly than the other vineyards to various weather conditions, holding better the heat peaks and water stress and also resisting better the rain that insists on dropping before the harvest. Those vineyards have a singular character given by the site where they are planted and the varieties that make up the mixture. If we respect the grapes individuality in the winery the wines will be as the vineyards – discrete, not exuberant and with a depth and complexity coming from the long years of experience.
