About the wine
Luis' medium bodied Portuguese stunner punches above its weight...
- The grapes for my Agil are a combination of Aragonez and Trincadeira (which are local to the area of Estremoz where I live), and the well known Syrah variety. The vineyards that are used for this wine all sit around 400 metres above sea level, which help give a delicious freshness to this unique blend.
- I set up my winery only 12 years ago, and I've spent that time making my wines better and better. Angel funding has given me the chance to start planting new vineyards so that I will be able to bring my taste of Portugal to even more Angels.
- When you pour this wine the first thing you should notice is the deep ruby red colour, then once you take your first sip you will experience the intense flavours of well ripened red and blue berries with a slightly spicy finish - a great example of a medium bodied red from my area that I hope you will enjoy again and again!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Luis Louro
- Luis’ vineyard is near the hilltop town of Estremoz, in the northern Alentejo region near the Spanish border.
- Its rich soils, unspoiled landscape and bright blue skies are a winemaker’s paradise. The 400m of altitude adds a lovely freshness to the well-ripened grapes.
-
Luis set up his winery from scratch 12 years ago, and is proud as punch of what he’s built. And now he’s super-excited to be making wines for Angels who share his passion for quality.
