    Focused aromas of black raspberry and cherry cola spice open on the nose along with hints of black tea and hay. The juicy palate sings with ripe fruit and youthful tannins that carry the finish. Pair with short rib, brisket and roasted portobello mushroom.

    The 2023 Bodega Luzón Altos de Luzón Monastrell Jumilla with Korean dwaeji bulgogi (spicy marinated pork) hits a beautiful stride, where the wine’s ripe raspberry fruit and warm spice wrap around the sweet-heat of gochujang, its gentle texture smoothing the dish’s intensity while those closing tannins catch the caramelized edges of the pork, bringing a savory snap to the finish—vivid, flavorful, and just a little addictive.

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.

Full of ripe fruit, and robust, earthy goodness, Mourvèdre is actually of Spanish provenance, where it still goes by the name Monastrell or Mataro. It is better associated however, with the Red Blends of the Rhône, namely Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Mourvèdre shines on its own in Bandol and is popular both as a single varietal wine in blends in the New World regions of Australia, California and Washington. Somm Secret—While Mourvèdre has been in California for many years, it didn’t gain momentum until the 1980s when a group of California winemakers inspired by the wines of the Rhône Valley finally began to renew a focus on it.

Famous for the robust and earthy, black-fruit dominated, Monastrell (known as Mourvedre in France), Jumilla is an arid and hot region in southeastern Spain. Its vine yields tend to be torturously low but this can create wines of exceptional intensity and flavor. Quality combined with accessible price points give the region great recognition on international markets far and wide.

The reds from Jumilla are heady and spicy, packed with fruit and show aromas of dried licorice and herbs. If you like Syrah, Grenache or Pinot noir, a red wine from Jumilla would be a perfect next choice!
