José Lobo de Vasconcelos’s estate has been in the family for 250 years. It boasts 125 hectares of beautiful vineyards in Portugal’s Tejo, but there's just one small vineyard that José preserves just as it always has been – surrounded by equally old olive trees. That’s just the way farmers used to plant out their land a century back. And José wouldn’t dream of changing it, even though the authorities complain it's against the rules. The vines are a mix of varieties, a field blend, just like the old days, which accounts for the wine's gorgeous rich depth of flavour. The grapes are all handpicked and trodden by foot in the cellar's traditional old lagars (large stone troughs) to get maximum flavour, then aged in French oak for complexity.
