A fabulous, spicy fruit red combining native varieties with Syrah. Velvety, mouthfilling and long, it perfectly shows how modern Portuguese reds offer some of the best value in Europe. So handy, too, in this ‘help yourself to a glass’ format.

Rich, velvety Stones & Bones is so-called because it’s grown in a landscape littered with ancient boulders and dinosaur fossils. In the modern Portuguese tradition, the wine is a blend of local and international grapes. Touriga Nacional, the backbone of vintage port, joins with Tinta Roriz, Syrah and Alicante to produce mammoth, rich fruit flavours. Equally impressive is the winemaker, Diogo Sepúlveda, who relaxes after work by cycling, playing football or bull wrestling! Having worked in Pomerol, then in the Barossa with heirloom Shiraz vines, he has all the credentials for making this rich, old vine Portuguese red. This is quality wine in a box – handy for enjoying a glass or two, while the remainder stays fresh in the container.
