Douro Castelão "Mono C" 2021 - Luís Seabra

For nearly two decades Luís Seabra has been at the centre of a cultural shift in Portuguese winemaking. A former soil researcher and oenology instructor, he launched his own small winery, Luís Seabra Vinhos, in 2013 to prove that fresh, elegant, terroir-driven still wines can be made in the Douro.

Mono C is 100% Castelão from a single vineyard planted in 1993 on yellow schist at 450 m. Ruby red, with blackberry, plum and dark chocolate over a distinct schist mineral note; on the palate bright and punchy with sour cherry, plum and blueberry, medium to full body, mouthwatering acidity and soft tannins.

Serve at 16-18 °C with red meat, cured meats or pasta.
