Luis Seabra may be a new name on the Portuguese wine scene, but he has already had a hand in crafting 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. Winemaking is minimal-intervention, and the style very much reflects the concentration of care lavished by this experienced winemaker on his tiny output.

This is a particularly special white wine, and extremely memorable. If you like creamy, rich and opulent styles of Chardonnay from France or California, this is something to put on your list. Full of texture and flavour, think ripe melons, green pineapple and a tangy citrus. Pair with rich and creamy pork or chicken dishes for a lively and exciting food pairing.

Bright, focused and fresh, Xisto Ilimitado is a great introduction to the new Douro.
