Tasting notes

Dark ruby. Mineral nose of red berries, forest floor, green herbs and smoke. Lively acidity frames wild strawberry, ripe strawberry and sour cherry, finishing precise with wet stone and dusty minerality. Food-friendly and structured, best enjoyed in a large red wine glass after a short time in the decanter.

About this wine

Xisto Cru is a sophisticated red blend from Luís Seabra in Portugal's Douro Valley. The fruit comes from two vineyards vinified separately, both with 100% whole clusters, using indigenous yeasts and nothing added but sulphur.

After pressing, both wines age in used 228-litre French oak barrels for a total of 18 months. The wine shows a dark ruby colour and a complex, mineral-driven nose of red berries, forest floor, green herbs and smoke.

On the palate, lively acidity cuts through wild strawberry, ripe strawberry and sour cherry, with precision and a wet-stone, dusty mineral finish. Serve at 16-18°C.
