Portugal is a great source of wines that combine modern fruit flavours with the best of tradition. And its wines always represent outstanding value. This historic estate has been in the same family for over 200 years, with many 100 year old vineyards. In the 17th century, it was the king’s falconry and special barrels of wine were kept aside for royal visits. Today, fourth generation José Lobo de Vasconcelos (Lobo means wolf) heads up the property. When he took over in 1986, he persuaded renowned wine expert João Ramos to come on board. The cellar remains one of the region’s most innovative, with Joana de Lopes as winemaker. Dark, spicy Syrah along with native varieties and a layer of creamy oak, this is a top choice for slow cooked beef.
