The Wine
Head to the remote interior of Portugal and you’re in a land seemingly untouched by modern times – and largely overlooked by wine buyers. But we’ve been swooping in on its rich pickings for years, winning ‘Portugal Retailer of the Year’ with remarkable wines at great value prices. Here’s one of our juiciest finds yet, made by Manuel Lobo de Vasconcellos (Lobo is Portuguese for wolf) and Joana Lopes at a 17th century estate in central Portugal. Casal Branco was once the king’s falconry and Manuel’s ancestors kept special barrels of wine for the king’s visits. Today he makes this red specially for our customers. The wine’s satisfying richness, spicy, dark fruit and creamy layer of oak make it a top choice for slow cooked beef or a casserole.
