Rather than making table wines that are, for all intents and purposes, “Port lite,” Luis has taken a more balanced, restrained approach to winemaking in the oldest demarcated wine region in the world. His guiding principles are showcasing terroir and nuance above power and extraction. Bright, mineral driven and elegant, Luis’ wines are typically exposés of soil type. With the Mono C, he is taking a look at a particular variety – in this case, Castelão. While Castelão is a grape that is typically found further south in Portugal, Luis has found a mono-planted plot of the light-skinned grape in the Douro and is working his magic to craft a wine of unparalleled delicacy and elegance.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\nWhole cluster fermented.

There's a delicacy to it that borders on ethereal, yet it never feels thin — a real mineral thread runs underneath. Beautifully tailored, thirst-quenching and thoroughly distinctive.
