Vinos Divertidos is a small winery that focuses on clean and un-manipulated wines in the Somontano DO of northeastern Spain, with sustainable farming practices, low sulfur, and expressive examples of unusual varieties from their region. Situated in Lagüarres (Huesca), at 2300 feet above sea level, they are in the foothills of the Pyreness Mountains. With a name that literally translates to 'fun wines,' this winery isn't afraid to use humor to play with the serious and intimidating topic of wine. Their concept is to help cultivate and revive the varieties that are near extinction, bringing indigenous grapes out of obscurity to create fresh and exciting versions of the wines, with great packaging to appeal to people's fun side when drinking and experiencing new (but very old) wines from Spain.
vinos divertidos 'la moristel del pirineo'
100% moristel A unique and delicious wine, the La Moristel del Pirineo comes from a very old vineyard of only 5000 vines in the Isabena Valley of Somontano. The near extinct Moristel varietal gives incredible color and body to blends from northeastern Spain, but here is showcased on its own with a great amount of class and style. After a hand harvest, fermentation, and spending 3 months in French oak barrel and 3 months in bottle before release, the resulting wine has great freshness on the nose, with dark fruits, purple flowers, and hints of vanilla. The palate has easy drinking tannins that wrap around red and black fruits, a bit of spice, and soft oak notes from the wood. |
vinos divertidos ojo de liebre
100% ojo de liebre (tempranillo) Vinos Divertidos’ Ojo de Liebre is a very unique wine that displays the versatility of the red fruit that comes out of the Somontano of Spain. Ojo de Liebre is the local name for Tempranillo, yet as it has always grown in this region, it has a distinct mineral driven complexity to it, with a soft palate, and a lovely and funky fruit component. After fermentation and about a half year in oak, the wine rests for several months before release in bottle, creating a complex and unique red wine. With a tight earthy grip, and bright fruity acidity, this red has a structure that lasts for a long time on the palate. Enjoy this bottle with stews and red meats or funky cheeses. |
vinos divertidos 'cojón de gato'
20% cojón de gato, 40% merlot, 40% syrah In the fun and exciting style of Vinos Divertidos, Cojón de Gato exemplifies what the winery does best: take indigenous varietals from the northeast corner of Spain, give them a fun presentation, and make incredible wine. Cojón de Gato literally translates to ‘cat’s testicles’ and is an old variety that doesn’t ever see much love, but this wine is sure to impress with its fresh fruit and smooth texture. It is blended with some easy-to-love varietals (Merlot & Syrah), and shows bright red fruits and a bit of floral spice that comes through on the nose and the palate. A very pleasant drinking wine that can be enjoyed anytime. |
