Moristel is an obscure, somewhat endangered variety grown in Somontano, in the foothills of the Spanish Pyrenees. Bodega Pirineos, among others in the region, are giving it something of a revival, with this light bodied but dark fruited style. Aromatics are blue and black fruited, with a hint of violets. The palate is supple and soft with a good chalky crunch on the finish.

Based in Somontano at the foothills of the Pyrenees in northern Spain, Bodegas Pirineos was established as a cooperative in 1964. In 2007 it joined the Barbadillo wine group, and is now made up of 150 small growers across 700 hectares in the region.
