Stones & Bones Reserva 2019
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
Stones & Bones is one of our most popular Portuguese reds, hands down. Every vintage, it hauls home multiple gold medals and 90+ point scores, along with 5-star reviews galore from customers.
Needless to say, we’re thrilled to introduce this limited-edition Reserva, which was rated 90 points and named an Editor’s Choice by Wine Enthusiast.
The team at Casa Santos Lima—ranked one of 2017’s Top 100 Wineries in the world by the World Ranking of Wines & Spirits—really outdid themselves with this luxurious red. Head winemaker Diogo Sepúlveda selected grapes from the estate’s best vineyards, which are strewn with ancient boulders and dinosaur fossils (hence the name, Stones & Bones).
After carefully hand harvesting the grapes to ensure each bunch was picked at optimum ripeness, the team brought them back to the cellar and Diogo worked his magic. He settled on an inky-dark blend of native varieties Touriga Nacional (star grape of Port), Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo) and Alicante Bouschet, plus a healthy dose of international Syrah. Finally, Diogo treated the wine to 12 months’ aging in French and American oak barriques.
The resulting Reserva brims with ripe, dark-fruit flavors, plus attractive spice and vanilla oak notes. With a sumptuous palate and smooth tannins, it’ll be a delicious treat for fans of big reds, or an impressive match for roasted meats, hearty stews and other flavorful dishes.
Stones & Bones Reserva is even richer, smoother and more luxurious than the original release. Take a major step up in quality and secure your share today.
