Xisto Ilimitado Douro White Blend 2021

Mostly Rabigato. Named “Xisto” after the schist soils of the Cima Corgo. Sun drenched orchard fruits. Honeysuckle. Broad minerality. Think I would guess Chenin in a blind. Maybe Aligote? — 9 months ago

Xisto Cru Branco 2019

Tops among the many things I enjoy about this are the minerality, purity in delineation, rich mouthfeel, and relatively good value for an old-vine, terroir-driven wine developed with this level of care. — 2 years ago

Xisto Ilimitado Douro Branco 2021

This is delicious. Kind of like a Portuguese take on Loire Chenin blanc. I know I shouldn’t necessarily compare other regions to some French benchmark but that’s just where my mind goes — 9 months ago

Xisto Cru Tinto 2019

Perhaps the best Douro table wine we’ve tried, even if it was probably still too young and will be more enjoyable with more bottle aging. — 2 years ago

Xisto Red Blend

A good jammy wine, as I’d expect from a red blend. But with a bit of tannins and still light enough to drink in the summer. During the first glass I kept catching a bit of tobacco flavor, which wasn’t working for me. There was also a peppery/spicy flavor at the end that I didn’t care for (this is just how my tastes run, I don’t like peppery wines). But this wine really mellowed with time and when I paired the after-dinner glass with some dark chocolate...WOW! Perfect pairing right there. — 4 years ago

Xisto Ilimitado Douro Red Blend 2020

This wine deserves a lot more credit than I’ve afforded it in the past. Seabra is doing great things, and this is a wholly original Douro offering. Burgundian? — 8 months ago

Granito Cru Vinho Verde Monção Alvarinho 2017

Alvarinho of substance and breeding. Complex aromas and deep palate of white fruits , mineral and acid. Good depth and length. Not quite at the elegance of Xisto Cru but very, very good. — 4 years ago
