Waar serveer je ’m bij?
One grape, Alfrocheiro, and thirty days on the skins — far longer than usual, with forty per cent of the bunches going in whole and uncrushed. That combination gives aroma and length without driving up the tannin: a long maceration refines the structure rather than hardening it. Fifteen months in three-thousand-litre foudres, too large for the wood to show.

Minder geschikt bij
Heavily spiced or chilli-hot dishes: capsaicin makes the alcohol burn and the fine Alfrocheiro aroma disappears behind it.

The producer
Luis Seabra
When Luis Seabra told us in 2012 about his plans to make wine under his own name, we signed up straight away. We had known him for 10 years as a winemaker at Niepoort and knew we could not miss this.
