Douro Branco Xisto Ilimitado 2024, Luis Seabra

Luis Seabra is the talk of the proverbial town in the Douro, formally winemaker at Niepoort and now going it out alone. His wines have beautiful precision and finesse and a clean, mineral tonality which make them so good to drink. This is a mix of local varieties - Rabigato with 20% Arinto and 5% each Gouveio and Codega, aged in a mix of old oak barrels and stainless steel. It's taut, salty, flinty and with sharp lemon and grapefruit fruit tinges, delicious vertical wine will age beautifully but is already looking so good.
