Después de una década como enólogo en Niepoort, donde fue responsable de algunos de los vinos más conocidos y mejor calificados del afamado productor de Douro y Porto, Luis Seabra decidió que ya no quería hacer vinos para el gusto y las especificaciones de otra persona. Así, co...

La altitud, y la atención de Luis Seabra a la viticultura, permiten vinos como este Indie 2016, que resulta fresquísimo con sus 12,5 grados. Pero no nos adelantemos, porque antes hay una vendimia manual, fermentación tradicional en lagaras de piedra y una posterior crianza de casi dos años barricas usadas de roble francés. Un vino que nos encanta por su ligereza y su clase.

"The 2016 Indie Xisto is a blend of 30% Tinta Roriz, 20% Touriga Franca, 15% each of Tinta Barroca and Tinta Amarela, and various others filling out the blend. Sourced from 70-year-old vines in a single vineyard in Alijo at 500 meters in altitude, it was aged for 18 months in used French oak and comes in at 13.2% alcohol. Concentrated but very fresh, this adds velvety texture and ripe fruit. The tannins are ripe, but they provide support for the fruit and will allow this to develop, hopefully adding some complexity along the way. It is smooth but firm just now, but it's also a bit closed. I'm not sure this will ever match the intensity of flavor on the 2015, but it is clearly not all the way open yet, so we will wait and see. You can drink this now, but you would be better off letting it evolve for two to three years if you can. No one, including the winemaker, knows how this relatively new bottling will age, but it should have no trouble going another decade from now, probably much more. Let's take that in stages."
