Waar serveer je ’m bij?
Luís Seabra wants to see the full potential of Alvarinho, and with him that means: everything in wooden foudre, fermentation and ageing alike, and a wine with so much matter that it can lie for years. Granito refers to the granite soil, and you hear it in the finish as a dry, salty stone. This is Alvarinho without a single concession to easy drinking — full, broad and long, with the oak entirely in the service of the structure. A bottle that gains complexity with every year in bottle.

Fresh, cold starters and raw vegetables: they are completely drowned out by its breadth. Spicy food does not fit either, because thirteen degrees and oak make the combination warm in the mouth.
