2004 Moristel, Bodegas Pirineos
Bodegas Pirineos, named after the Pyrenéean backdrop to this massive Catalan winery, is one of only 3 outfits making nearly all the wines in Somontano (between Rioja and Barcelona). Having nurtured hundreds of growers since the '60s, and overhauled the cellar in the '90s, Pirineos now offer a fascinating array of wines. Here they've brought the charms of local grape Moristel to the fore: lively, vigorous black fruit flavours with an edge of cinnamon from American oak-ageing.

This rich white, from grapes ripened to sweetness on the vine, brings together the spice of Gewürztraminer with the ripe fruit of Chardonnay and the opulence of Macabeo. At its best with spicy seafood.
