Bodegas Luzón

A long established estate in warm Jumilla, Bodegas Luzón makes wines with a modern twist. Bodegas Luzón is situated in the south east of Spain, north of Murcia.

The climate is continental, influenced by the Mediterranean sea, so warm days, not a lot of rain and fairly cool nights, which is ideal for growing grapes with good ripeness and sugar levels, while still maintaining freshness. The winery was established in 1841 by Don José de Molina on his return from the Philippines where he was the army commander on the island of Luzón, and it then passed down through his family until 2005 when it was bought by the Fuertes family who have since undertaken considerable investment in the winery. There are now 300 ha of vineyards directly owned, with a further 1,200 managed by the winery. Monastrell (Mourvèdre) is the main variety, supported mainly by Garnacha with some Tempranillo and Syrah for the reds, Macabeo and Airén for the whites. The grapes are sorted and totally destemmed before fermentation which is mainly in stainless steel after being cooled to prevent any spontaneous fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, the top wines are matured in oak for varying lengths of time, the younger wines bottled early to keep freshness and fruit after a light filtration. Although this is one of the oldest wineries in the region, methods are modern and progressive with care taken to reach environmental standards. Some organic wines and some without added sulphites are also being produced.

Vintage guide

The wines of 2023 show great promise but will be in short supply, while those of 2022 a hot, dry year are excellent and concentrated. The 2021 vintage is very good after a warm dry season with wines showing good concentration and aromatics. A wet first half of the 2020 vintage meant a lot of work in the vineyard was needed but a better, more consistent second half resulted in some juicy young wines with those ageing in barrel looking very promising. A very good year, 2019 had warm dry conditions but yields were limited by a tricky flowering period. A cooler and wetter year than other recent vintages has endowed the wines of 2018 with greater freshness and lower alcohols. Across the country the wines are showing good aromatics, plenty of weight, and a juicy fresh character. Growers had a complex year in 2017 having to contend with frost, hail and drought. Yields are down as a result, but the picture overall is of good quality particularly in Galicia and the South, Penedès also performed well. The 2016 vintage was pretty good on the whole with Ribera del Duero, Rioja and Rueda having excellent results. 2015 was heralded as the best vintage across Spain in recent years, and particularly so in the north. 2014 saw some good wines made with a little rain in the second half of harvest and low yields. This came after the potentially great 2013 vintage which has given fresh, vibrant, robust wines.
