Wine Spectator calls Portugal “the most exciting wine place on the planet” and judging by the wines we’re discovering there, we’d totally agree. One that certainly seems to have pleased customers’ palates is this rich, mouthfilling red. Lobo e Falcao is made at the 17th century estate owned by the Lobo de Vasconcellos family, which was once the king’s falconry (Lobo is Portuguese for wolf). Indeed, special barrels of wine were kept for the king when he visited. Today, talented winemaker Joana Lopes makes this red specially for us from Portugal’s exciting indigenous grapes. The 2015 vintage was awarded 87 points and a Best Buy Award by Wine Enthusiast. Generous wild berry fruit and spice with a velvet texture make this a very moreish red.
