Moreno Wines has added wines from Ribera del Duero and Priorato to its Spanish range, as well as cava, and expanded its portfolio with Chilean Alvaro Espinoza, a red sparkling Pinot Noir from Penley Estate in Australia, and a Patagonian sparkler called Deseado. It has created a sales & marketing director role - taken by ex-PLB Alex Canneti - to head the sales team, and a new website is in the pipeline.
