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 own label in 2012. He is starting small, producing just 5,000 bottles of each of these three wines. Winemaking is minimal intervention, and the style very much 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 début.

| Winery | Since establishing his eponymous winery in 2012, Luis Seabra has become a superstar of the Portuguese wine scene – although, in his previous role as Dirk Niepoort’s right-hand man, he already had a hand in crafting some of the Douro’s most exciting wines. Production is minuscule, at just 5,000 bottles each of his top Crus a year. Winemaking is minimal intervention, and the style very much 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 very special. |
