The Wine
Wine Spectator calls Portugal “the most exciting wine place on the planet”, with its terrific range of native grape varieties and wines that always offer standout value. The rich, mouthfilling Lobo e Falcão fits firmly in that category. It’s made at a 17th century estate owned by the Lobo de Vasconcelos 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, blending Syrah with Portugal’s exciting native grapes. Previously awarded a Wine Enthusiast Best Buy Award, the 2022 has lovely intensity of flavour due to another dry year. Generous wild berry fruit and spice with a velvety texture – a very moreish red.
Wine Spectator calls Portugal “the most exciting wine place on the planet”, with
"Superbly fruity and a joy to savour. All-round great wine with or without food. Great with cheese"
