Luzón, The Essence of our Journey

In the cold Jumilla mornings, almost at dawn, we began to document The Pruning process of our vineyards in the area of La Melera, in La Venta del Puerto, at 675 meters above sea level, almost the highest point of Jumilla, and where our Monastrell vines that gives shape to our Altos de Luzón grows.

A few months before, we decided to make a new video that would present our winery in a different way. Documenting over the course of a whole year, every step in the creation of our wines, while we looked into our own history and delved into the family roots of the winery. In the history of Bodegas Luzon and the Molina family, the germ of what we are.

Along 2020, we continued documenting the most awaited and important moments for our winery. We attended The Flowering in the month of May, with the arrival of spring and the hope of the first vines… Summer brought the exuberance in the form of a green mantle that covered our vineyards, filling them with clusters in an excellent harvest that will produce wines that will undoubtedly be remembered for their quality.

After the summer, September arrived. The month of the new promises, the month of The Harvest, an atypical harvest in an atypical year.

After several months documenting the land and vineyards where our Monastrell grows, it was time to enter our home, our winery.

The first fermentations and the smells of wine cover the entire winery in the period after the harvest. The overflowing fruit in the form of aroma that fills every corner, the racking and pumping over until we reach the barrels and begin the aging in wood. Breathing the silence while The Wine awaits its moment.

Throughout a whole year, we have learned to see further, to feel like the great family that all of us who are part of Bodegas Luzón are, a peerless team, we have delved into an exciting history that begins in the mid-nineteenth century, which makes us one of the oldest wineries in the D.O., with an unusual heritage of hardworking women in a complicated time and that undoubtedly defined the character of the first wines that emerged from the primitive Finca Luzón.

An exciting year expressed in just under five minutes in which to explain our history, which is now also yours, and which, as it says in the video, It is not yet finished… It lives on, like a long-aging wine…
