Description

If you want a peek at the unique and utterly delicious white wines made by Portuguese renegade Luis Seabra, this is the place to start.

The Ilimitado Branco - a field blend of local varieties Rabigato, Codega, Gouveiu and Viosinho - shows a little more flesh and ripe stone-fruit than the two higher-level Seabra whites, however the sea-spray/saline notes and the savoury kick that runs through the whole range shows here too in spades.

It's a wonderful thing to drink. Full of texture and energy and an exotic mix of flavours that sucks you back to the glass again and again.

    What an amazing wine!

    Such a great drop - beautifully textured, saline, sweet, viscous!

    Blown away, killer value

    Superb in all respects. Seductive nose. Grilled nuts, yellow peach and other good things.

    Even better palate. Balances richness with Seabra saline cut and palate cleansing acid. Delish! Better than the smart 2018, excellent value.

    Better value than Chablis at same price

    Luis Seabra is all class. Chablis-like nose with seashell, mineral, and then peach kernel and melon. Attractive. Soft, shapely palate, preserved lemon, subtle zingy acid. Just finishes a little short. Enjoyed the wine but worth paying a little extra for the Granito Cru - the real deal!
