90-Point Best Buy by Wine Enthusiast. Portugal’s been called “the most exciting wine place on the planet” by Wine Spectator. And there are fewer things more thrilling than discovering your vineyards are strewn with dinosaur fossils – as the team at the historic Casa Santos Lima discovered during a recent renovation.
The ‘stones and bones’ they found were the inspiration for this seriously succulent red, featuring native star Touriga Nacional, plus Tinta Roriz, Syrah and Alicante Bouschet – all of which thrive in Lisboa, a region that’s been enjoying a surge in quality, thanks to talented and ambitious winemakers like Diogo Sepúlveda.
Inspired by the giants that roamed this land millions of years ago, Diogo set out to make a red of real power – and he’s succeeded deliciously – Stones and Bones was awarded a gold medal at Portugal Wine Trophy in 2015 and was named a 90-Point Best Buy by Wine Enthusiast. Look for dark and intense aromas of berries and spice, followed by a sumptuous palate of black plum and bramble, framed by toasty-smoky oak notes. Pop the cork and pair this with everything from smoked turkey legs to beef ribs and beyond. Limited cases imported – get a move on before this discovery goes extinct.
