Xisto Ilimitado by renowned Douro winemaker Luis Seabra is a field blend of Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Trincadeira, Donzelinho, and Rufete. The 2017 vintage showcases old vines, ideal soil, and rare varieties that thrive in the Douro Valley. The Xisto Ilimitado is lush, lively, and vibrant, packed with red berry flavors and framed by elegant, soft tannins, warming spice, and wet slate flavors on the lingering finish. It should be prized for its level of balance, harmony, and complexity.
