The varieties come from four vineyards that lie at an altitude of 400 metres in Cima Corgo with predominantly clay soils with yellow slates.

To make the Luis Seabra Xisto Ilimitado wine, they tread 30% of the grapes, which are then fermented in the traditional Douro stone lagares, and the remaining 70% is de-stemmed and produced in stainless steel tanks. Only native yeasts are used. The must is macerated for 25 days and the wine then ages for one year in used French oak barrels. The two batches are combined before bottling and releasing for sale.

Luis Seabra is a leading Portuguese winemaker who worked for the renowned Niepoort winery until he decided to make his own wines in a totally different style. He dedicated himself to reviving the Portuguese native varieties and making wine in an unhurried manner with very little intervention.
