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. He worked as Dirk Niepoort’s right-hand man from 2004 until leaving to set up his label in 2012. He is starting small, producing just 5,000 bottles of each of these three wines.

| 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 |
