Mono C Luis Seabra 2021
Mono C is a unique exploration of one of Southern Portugal’s most commonly planted red varieties, Castelāo. It is rarely planted in Douro, although authorized. With a softer tannin profile than many of the Douro’s native red grapes, this is a wine that’s more open and less tight than the local wines—and under Seabra’s watchful eye, less soft and alcoholic than the varietal typically shows.
100% Castelão, from a single vineyard, planted to yellow schist at 450m elevation in 1993.
Ruby-red. Blackberry, plums and dark chocolate overlaid with a distinct schist mineral note. On the palate, bright and punchy, with sour cherry, plum, blueberry tart, tightly wrapped in floral and mineral tones. Medium to full body. Mouthwatering acidity and soft skin tannin provide lovely balance to the fruit. Nice complexity and a good finish.

More about this product
Luis Seabra
For nearly two decades, Luís Seabra has been at the center of a cultural shift in Portuguese winemaking, leading a movement of young, independent winemakers making history by reclaiming historical vineyards, grape varieties, and techniques. After a celebrated career as a soil researcher in Vinho Verde, enology instructor, and producer of world-famous still wines in Douro, Seabra finally launched his own small winery in 2013, Luís Seabra Vinhos. His work is dedicated to proving that fresh, elegant, terroir-driven still wines can be made in this region, despite centuries of traditions that favor overripe fruit, and massive internationally owned wineries.
