About the wine
Top-class Silver-medal-winning Portuguese red
- On tasting this, Angel Richard Mansfield said "This is a little belter, an easy drinking bright-as-a-button red with a level of complexity rarely found at this price point." - he's not wrong!
- It has the classic, big, creamy, vanilla oak flavours of a Rioja, but its fruit - akin to pure globules of blackberry jam - is nearer top class claret.
- Most importantly it's an angel-funded wine, so stupidly inexpensive.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Luis Vieira
- Luis makes exceptional wines (together with Antonio Ventura) because he gets the pick of the best grapes from the local growers. But how, we hear you ask...
- ...he has the inside knowledge on who has the best grapes. We love his wines, and his bulging little black book of great growers!
- If you're looking to get a whole lotta bang for your buck, look no further... Portuguese wines are truly stunning value, with the only reason for this being that very few are yet to catch on. You're way ahead of the curve, so you might want to get to know Luis now, before he's a household name!
