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.
