Bodegas Pirineos ‘Principio’ Moristel 2024 1991 chalky puckerMade from the indigenous and very rare Moristel grape. A glorious dark ruby, deep, cloudy and bright thanks to low PH. Clean and red fruited, its a quiet riot of salted plum, sweet currant and smoky floral blackberry cane tea. The palate is cool tempered, lean and briary with cold wet slate minerals. The citric acid tartness is leavened by a mid palate layer of dried cranberry. Aromatically persistent, and stimulating in the mouth.
