Xisto Ilimitado Branco

• Producer: Luis Seabra Vinhos
• Winemaker: Luis Seabra
• Region: Douro Valley, Portugal
• Varieties: Rabigato, Codega, Gouveio (Godello), Viosinho

Winemaker and proprietor Luis Seabra is leading a movement of young, independent winemakers reclaiming historical vineyards, grape varieties, and techniques in Portugal. Seabra is dedicated to creating fresh, elegant, terroir-driven wines in the Douro Valley. His wines are compelling and bold - the kind of wine that keeps you coming back for more! This mineral-driven white wine is flinty with notes of fresh nectarine, white peach, and a perfectly ripe pear. Both powerful and graceful. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Les Equilibristes "Seres"

• Producer: Les Equilibristes
• Winemaker: Etienne Besancenot
• Region: Languedoc-Roussillon, France
• Varieties: Marsannem Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Roussanne and Viognier skins

We love French wine collective Les Equilibristes and their delicious + whimsical wines! Seres is and has been a staff favorite at F&F. The skin contact wine is extremely light, resulting in a clean, fleshy wine with notes of white peach, a touch of honey and a short pithy edge. It’s beautiful in the glass and on the palate. Les Equilibristes is a collective of passionate winegrowers that inspire each other, exchange ideas and push wine culture forward. Of course, being in France, the soil is key: clay, limestone and rolled pebbles. Ideal conditions for perfect grapes! The varieties are Marsanne, Grenache Blanc, Vermentino, Roussanne and Viognier skins. 100% organic farming. The finesse is a work of art and the balance of flavors is so delicate and precise. This wine will bring a smile to your face! Pair with panko crusted pan-fried chicken and curry or a birria burrito. Cheers!
