Bodegas Luzón: Excellence Reaffirmed by James Suckling

In the wine business, receiving a high score from James Suckling is synonymous of quality and prestige. Known as one of the most influential wine critics in the world, Suckling has dedicated decades to tasting and evaluating the best wines internationally. His rigorous criteria and experience make his ratings highly respected in the wine industry. Receiving a score above 90 points from Suckling is not just recognition but a confirmation of the excellence of our wines.

This year, we are proud to announce that three of our wines have been distinguished with high scores by James Suckling: Finca Luzón Crianza 2021 with 91 points, Origen Syrah 2022 also with 91 points, and Finca Luzón Sin Sulfitos 2023 with 90 points. These recognitions highlight the quality and dedication we put into every bottle we produce.

For those unfamiliar, Suckling’s scoring criteria are divided into four categories: color (15 points), aroma (25 points), structure (25 points), and overall impression (35 points). Only wines that achieve a total score of 90 or more are worthy of mention by him. This ensures that each wine reviewed not only meets but exceeds expectations in all critical aspects of tasting.

Finca Luzón Crianza 2021 – 91 points

This wine has been highlighted for its deep and vibrant color, a prelude to the rich aromas of dark fruits and spicy notes that unfold in each glass. The structure on the palate is firm, with well-integrated tannins that provide a sense of fullness and elegance. The overall impression is of a balanced, complex wine with a prolonged finish that invites further enjoyment.

Origen Syrah 2022 – 91 points

The Origen Syrah 2022 captured Suckling’s attention with its intense and dark color. On the nose, it offers an explosion of fruity aromas and exotic spice notes that reflect the purity of the Syrah variety. On the palate, its structure is robust yet well-balanced, with acidity that enhances the flavors and a persistent and harmonious finish. This wine is a true expression of our terroir and the passion we put into its production.

Finca Luzón Sin Sulfitos 2023 – 90 points

Finally, the Finca Luzón Sin Sulfitos  2023 has been recognized for its freshness and authenticity. Its bright and attractive color gives way to clean aromas of fresh fruits and wildflowers. The structure is light but well-defined, allowing the purity of the fruit to be fully expressed without the interference of sulfites. The overall impression is of a vibrant and natural wine, perfect for those seeking a healthier option without sacrificing quality.

At Bodegas Luzón, these recognitions not only fill us with pride but also inspire us to continue working with the same passion and dedication to offer wines of the highest quality. We thank James Suckling for valuing our effort and commitment and our customers for their trust in us. Cheers!
