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 seems to have pleased customers’ palates is this rich, mouthfilling red. Lobo e Falcão is made at the 17th century estate owned by the Lobo de Vasconcellos family, once the location of the king’s falconry. 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 native grapes. Previously awarded a Wine Enthusiast Best Buy Award, the 2017 is even more intensely flavoured due to a very low yield year. Generous wild berry fruit and spice with a velvet texture make this a very moreish red.
