Rich, velvety red wine, brimming with luscious black fruit – a Portuguese triumph
A delicious blend of Portuguese grapes from a former royal falconry, this red wine has lovely warmth, richness and bright fruit. Fans of smooth, powerful wines take note – this is a sure contender for the Big Red crown, with 5-star reviews aplenty.
Portugal is undoubtedly one of the most exciting wine regions in the world, with its terrific range of native grape varieties and rich, mouthfilling wines like Lobo e Falcão that offer truly standout value.

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, Lobo e Falcão has lovely intensity of flavour and velvety smoothness. Generous berry fruit and spice – a very moreish red on its own or ideal with a barbecue.
