Luzón Altos de Luzón Monastrell BIO 2020

Originating from selected grapes from the La Melera vineyard, at an altitude of 675 metres (Altos means high in Spanish), with 40-year-old vines on poor soil that give low yields.

Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 28 to 30 degrees for 8-10 days. The juice then remains in contact with the skins for about 10-15 days to extract more colour and flavour. The wine is further matured in French and American oak for 12 months.

Bodegas Luzón makes modern wines in the sunny Spanish region of Jumilla with lots of fruit and lush, measured use of wood. These are generous, robust wines that both the wine connoisseur and the casual wine drinker can enjoy. Comfort wine, you can safely say. The wines are often made from the Monastrell that is so typical of Jumilla.

Awards: 91 points - Guia Peñin on the 2019 vintage 90 points - Wine Enthusiast on the 2019 vintage "Meaty, savory spices, black cherries, black pepper and orange chocolate on the nose, carried by a bright, energetic streak of acidity and creamy tannins on the palate. A subtler monastrell with excellent length. Very enjoyable now." -James Suckling
