With 11 Golds in seven vintages and Trophy in 2020 for 'Best Portuguese Red', Stones & Bones is a winner. As its name suggests, it comes from a landscape littered with ancient boulders and dinosaur fossils. A gorgeous blend of local and international grapes, where Touriga Nacional, the backbone of vintage port, joins forces with Syrah, Tinta Roriz and Alicante to produce mammoth, rich fruit flavours. Equally impressive is the winemaker, Diogo Sepúlveda, who was recently awarded 'Best Producer of Portugal' at an international competition. Having worked in Pomerol, then in the Barossa with heirloom Shiraz vines, his credentials for making this rich, old-vine Portuguese red are second to none. Best decant and serve with a rich casserole.

A comfortable blend of four grapes, the wine has soft tannins and a light spiciness from wood aging. The wine's red berry fruits give a warm feel to this just lightly textured wine. Drink now. Roger Voss, 5/1/2021.
