RED WINE

Never heard of moristel? Well we can forgive you this time. This indigenous red is grown in Northern Spain, and is a bit of a hidden gem if you ask us.  Here 'Principio' means 'origin' or 'source', and here, it denotes a return to ones' roots by working with the local cultivar which is unique to the region.

There is a grenache-esq sensibility here with perhaps a little more dark fruited edge savoury notes. Smokey-woodsy red fruits, light charred chestnut leaves and fine sour cherry/dried cranberry lead you in. In the mouth its juicy and bright with a little fine, dark earth sprinkled around the edges of the crunchy fruit. Finishes with a little leafy, brambly kick and some nice supple tannins that draw it all in. Very cool.
