Stones & Bones 2021

Touriga Nacional-Based Blend from Portugal

Classic Movie Pairing

Gorgo (1961)

Gorgo (1961). Named after the dinosaur fossils and ancient boulders strewn among the vineyard, Stones & Bones Sauvignon Blanc stands tall among the competition. The same can be said of this standout, low-budget creature feature which delivers on dinosaur action in a big way. The story tells the tale of a giant reptile brought back to New York for exhibition after an expedition in parts unknown. Tom Howard's visual effects helped elevate the film to cult status, as does the cinematography of Freddie Young, who would move onto David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia in the following year.

Wine Flavor Profile

Stones & Bones is a full-bodied red wine with intense aromas of ripe berries and sweet spice. The palate has a sumptuous texture, with black plum and bramble fruit flavors framed by toasty-smoky oak notes.

Portugal’s “the most exciting wine place on the planet” (Wine Spectator)—and for lovers of big reds, hugely popular Stones & Bones is a real thrill. Unearthed among ancient dino fossils, it’s also a roaring-good match for beef.
