Luis Seabra Xisto Ilimitado Tinto 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: Field blend of 30% Touriga Franca, 20% Tinta Amarela, 20% Tinta Roriz, 10% Rufete, 10% Tinta Barroca, 5% Malvasia Petra, 5% Donzelinho Tinto. The fruit comes from four vineyards that lie at an altitude of 400 metres in Cima Corgo, Douro, Portugal, with predominantly clay soils with yellow slates

Taste Profile:Fresh red cherry and blueberry fruit aromas, with hints of wet stone and violets. On the palate the wine is full bodied with bright acidity to balance the red cherry and pomegranate fruit. White pepper, slate and herbal aromas linger with the ripe fruit on a juicy, fresh finish.

Winemaking Process:The fruit is partially destemmed & fermented in stainless steel tanks using only native yeasts. The must is macerated for 25 days and the wine then ages for one year in used French oak barrels. The two batches are combined before bottling and releasing for sale.
