About the wine
Wine Of The Week
- Righty ho. It's wintertime and we're all brassmonkeys. So what we need is a really big, full-on, no holds barred chunk of lovely red wine to keep us going through the dark nights. Well, look no bloomin further. You've found it. Or rather we did, from Portugal.
- 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.

Meet the winemaker - Luis Vieira
- Born in Lisbon, Luis is a third-generation wine producer but the first in his family to have his own vineyards. His grandfather started the family winemaking business, which Luis now leads, to bring Angels a taste of Portugal.
- His vineyards in Lisbon are not only planted with classic Portuguese varieties – but also Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Syrah and Alicante Bouchet. Combine that with vineyards in Alentejo and Tejo, insider knowledge and his expert team, Luis delivers exceptional value wines.
- If you like to get lots of wine for your money, look no further. Luis is your guy – your winemaker of the largely undiscovered hidden gems of Portugal.
