Luis Seabra, Douro Xisto Ilimitado Tinto, 2021
A delightful blend of mostly Touriga Franca, Tinta Amarela and Tinta Roriz (the local name for Tempranillo), with a smattering of Rufete, Tinta Barroca and a few other obscure varieties, all planted between 1960 and 1980. It's brambly, with distinct stoniness and a lovely herbaceous quality we find in fine Portuguese wines, something like laurel or sage. Its refreshing acidity and lightly grippy tannins make it a perfect food wine, though we've been known to enjoy a bottle all by itself.
