Luís Seabra

Luís Seabra

Luís Seabra Vinhos is one of the leading voices of the “New Portugal” movement, founded by Luís Seabra in 2013 after a long career shaping modern Douro wines. A trained viticulturist and former winemaker at Niepoort, Seabra set out to create a more personal, terroir-driven expression of Portuguese wine, focused on freshness, balance, and authenticity. 

Working across regions such as Douro, Dão, and Vinho Verde, he sources fruit from old, often high-altitude vineyards, with some vines exceeding 100 years of age. His philosophy is firmly rooted in minimal intervention - native fermentations, careful élevage, and a deep respect for the natural character of each site. 

Production remains relatively small, with a strong focus on site-specific cuvées that highlight soil, altitude, and traditional grape varieties. The wines are precise, elegant, and mineral-driven, offering a refined and modern interpretation of Portugal’s historic vineyards.
