Luis Seabra Vinhos "Xisto Ilimitado" Branco

Varietal(s): 50% Rabigato, 20% Codega, 15% Gouveio (Godello), 10% Viosinho

From rabigato, codega, godello and viosinho planted on micaschist and fermented mostly in old barrels, it has the lemon-mineral punch of great Burgundy, plus a ripe pear fruitiness, white poppy and remarkable density. This is sleek, contemporary white winemaking of the highest order.

Bright straw yellow. On the nose, stone and orchard fruit abound, with flinty wet stone and white pepper laid over the dominant aromatics. On the palate, impressively bright and mineral driven, with a great balance between power and lift. Lemon, green apple, bosc pear flavors commingle with a touch of floral tone and slate minerals. Juicy and mineral-driven all at once.

Xisto Ilimitado Branco pairs beautifully with roast poultry, white fish and seafood, and especially spicier preparations.
