Luis Seabra Granito Cru Alvarinho 2023
"Cru" means raw in Portugueseāand this wine delivers exactly that: an unadulterated expression of Vinho Verde's granitic terroir. From vines planted in 1989 on the granite soils of Paderne, MelgaƧo, at 50-150 meters elevation, the Alvarinho was native fermented and aged 12 months on lees in large oak vats with no added sulfur. Strikingly mineral, with the stark singularity of soil-driven wine that transcends typical Vinho Verde lightness into something profound and age-worthy.
