Description
Holy Schisto! Here's a wine as spingle-spangled as the mica schist (xisto) soil it grows on.... and the sort of wine that will likely spawn an NYT article with a header like "The Wine That Defeated 10 White Burgundies at Thrice the Price." Luis Seabra’s latest is a field blend of four indigenous varieties from 40+ year old vines planted at high elevation. Lovely citrus fruits on the nose followed by white tea, salty pears, a kiss of stone fruit, and the sort of flinty mineral finish that makes you think you've dropped more money than you have. Peak Elegance for Non-Peak Dollars: this Xisto's real.
