Bando de Corvos ‘Murder of Crows’ Tinto, Lisboa 2023

Red Wine from Portugal - Lisboa
3.612903000 star rating 31 Reviews
This wine is sourced from vineyards close to the city of Lisbon and is a blend of native Portuguese grapes, touriga nacional, castelao and trincadeira which come together to create a medium- to full-bodied, generous wine, which is full of Portuguese charm. Juicy aromas of damsons, plums, black pepper and a mellow earthiness on the nose lead to a generous, fruit-driven but mellow palate. Perfect with beef stews and dishes with earthy flavours, or just on its own. A charming, easy-going and inexpensive bottle which demonstrates authentic Portuguese charm. Bando de Corvos (Murder of Crows) takes inspiration from the story of the two crows which accompanied the first King of Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques, when he brought Saint Vincent's bones to Lisbon. Crows are now a symbol of Lisbon and appear on the city's coat of arms.

Bursting with fat, fleshy, red plum and mocha-spiced fruit, it’s The Wine Society’s best and utterly brilliant sub-£8 red.

Is this the best- value red wine in the whole of Great Britain right now? It's got to be up there - and a fantastic reason to join The Wine Society. Their wine buyer for Portugal, Freddy Bulmer, is a trailblazer and he rarely puts a foot wrong . This is exceptional value for money for a sleek, bold red with fruity power which is a total bullseye for sipping as the weather turns cooler. Blended from Touriga Nacional , Castelão and Trincadeira , it's as characterful as it is classy. Bravo!
