Winery Profile
After qualifying as a viticulturist, Luis Seabra completed a Masters in Winemaking before he went on to become Head Oenologist at Niepoort. After nearly a decade of doing something he loved for someone else, Luis decided to start making wine in his own winery. He is incredibly knowledgeable about wine making in the Douro, but decided to explore the terroir in a different, less conventional way than other Douro producers.
The philosophy at Luis Seabra Vinhos is encapsulated in the brand name Cru, which means raw. Luis’s aim is to make wines that really tell you where they come from, wine from specific vineyards with minimal intervention, wines that are true and honest, raw and pure…. Just getting back to basics.

| Tasting Notes | Tart with cherry and cranberry fruit character but its the graphite-like minerality, sharpy cut of fine, emery board tannins and the serious dose of alpine herb, brambles and garrigue that sets the wine apart. Razor’s edge texture and incredibly bright, exceptional length and fine detail. This is quite a remarkable wine. Revitalising to drink, in a way. It’s got great presence and energy. |
