Luis Seabra may be a new name on the Portuguese wine scene, but he has already crafted some of the Douro’s most exciting wines, working as Dirk Niepoort’s right-hand man from 2004 until leaving to set up his label in 2012. He is starting small, producing just 5,000 bottles of each of these three wines.

Winery | Winemaking involves minimal intervention, and the style reflects the concentration of care lavished by this experienced winemaker on his tiny output: pure yet complex, more savoury than fruity, with a density of texture and long, almost salty finishes marking the wines out as something extraordinary. Luis Seabra is certainly a name to watch, but he has also hit the ground running with a stunning debut. |
