(2023) Aged for six months in French oak, this comes from organically farmed vineyards in Somontano. A very pleasing nose, with three years under its belt the aromas are soft and verging on the autumnal, spices, some pencil-shavings and warm berry fruit. Watch out for the 15% declared alcohol, which does add luscious sweetness to the already ripe fruit on the palate. Blackcurranty and rich, there's a stripe of tannin and juicy acids to cut through that fruit and alcohol weight in the finish.

(2021) Moristel is a variety found only in the Somontano region of northern Spain, and rarely seen bottled as a single varietal wine. Just 5000 bottles are produced, from vines averaging 20 years of age. Fermented with ambient yeasts, it is a vivid and saturated crimson, with buoyant and lifted aromas of kirsch and violet, perhaps a little Beaujolais Nouveau-like, there's a wild scrubland a garrigue character too. In the mouth it is creamy, fruity and forward, with no oak influence its the combination of very ripe, juicy summer berry fruit and a certain rusticity to the tannins that drives this. Acidity, however, is also keen, giving this a really racy edge and making for an authentically different drop. There are several independent suppliers.
