Luis Seabra Granito Cru White

An exceptional white wine from the Monção e Melgaço sub-region of Vinho Verde, Portugal, crafted from 100% Alvarinho grapes grown in granitic soils. Produced by pioneering winemaker Luis Seabra, this wine is fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and aged for 12 months in large neutral oak foudres. It presents a brilliant straw color and a complex, mineral-driven nose with notes of lemon peel, green apple, and seashells. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, featuring laser-focused acidity and flavors of citrus and stone fruits, leading to a long, saline finish. This wine is an authentic expression of terroir, making it an ideal pairing for grilled fish, shellfish, and creamy risotto.
