    Winemaker Notes

    This wine has a dark, inky, blood like color in the glass. Aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, and subtle floral qualities linger on the nose. On the palate, this is a full bodied, dark, rich wine. Wild berries, chocolate, vanilla and licorice all blend together for a complex character and a long finish.

    Bodegas Luzon, Spain
    Bodegas Luzon Winery Image
    Bodegas Luzón are the masters of Monastrell (Mourvedre). Located in the historic region of Jumilla in southeastern Spain, this iconic region is celebrated for its beautifully expressive wines. Discover the impressive range and diversity of Bodegas Luzón. The wines of Bodegas Luzon are a reflection of four indispensable elements: The variety, being undoubtedly the Monastrell the queen and reflection of the progress of the history of our winery and that in the highlands of Jumilla finds its best expression. The soil, calcareous-sandy soils that allow the cultivation of our Monastrell grapes in an unparalleled way. The climate, together with these poor soils, helps our grapes to ripen healthy avoiding sanitary alterations, which allows us to practice sustainable viticulture. In addition to these four elements, there is a fifth indispensable element, a dedicated team with the continuous objective of making each vintage better than the previous one. Winegrowers since the 19th century: Our history begins in the far-east land of Luzon, the largest island of the Philippine archipelago, from where our founder Don Jose Molina, took the road back to his native Jumilla after graduating in 1814 in the Spanish Navy Royal Armies. Since then, we have been pioneers in many aspects, such as being a winery run by the women of the founding family until almost the end of the 20th century. Good wine does not start in the winery, it begins in the vineyard, the viticulture and its care. At Bodegas Luzón we manage a total of 415 hectares of vineyards spread over five plots, all of which belong to the D.O.P Jumilla. Vine care is one of our obsessions. Our vineyards are treated in a sustainable way, with responsible pruning and caring for the plants using techniques based on sustainability and respect for the biodiversity that surrounds our vineyards.

    Spanish red wine is known for being bold, heady, rustic and age-worthy, Spain is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation. A great majority of the country is hot, arid and drought-ridden, and since irrigation has only been recently introduced and (controversially) accepted, viticulture has sustained—and flourished—only through a great understanding of Spain’s particular conditions. Large spacing between vines allows each enough resources to survive and as a result, the country has the most acreage under vine compared to any other country, but is usually third in production.

    Of the Spanish red wines, the most planted and respected grape variety is Tempranillo, the star of Spain’s Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. Priorat specializes in bold red blends, Jumilla has gained global recognition for its single varietal Monastrell and Utiel-Requena has garnered recent attention for its reds made of Bobal.
