Finca Luzón No Sulphites Added: the purity of Monastrell
Our Finca Luzón Sin Sulfitos Añadidos is a 100% Monastrell red wine, an emblematic variety of the Jumilla region. This wine is the pure reflection of the terroir where it is born, respecting its essence thanks to minimal intervention viticulture. From the selection of the grapes to bottling, we follow the principles of certified organic production, ensuring that each bottle is free of added sulphites.
Monastrell is an ideal variety for organic viticulture in Jumilla, where the climatic and soil conditions allow the grapes to reach their full potential without the need for chemicals. The grapes are harvested at their optimum ripeness and vinified with a focus on preserving their natural characteristics.
One of the keys to Finca Luzon No Sulphites Added is the fermentation and maceration in contact with the skins at a controlled temperature for 10 to 15 days. This process guarantees the preservation of the natural aromas and the freshness of the wine. By not adding sulphites, we achieve a wine that reflects the authentic qualities of Monastrell, without alterations.
A wine suitable for vegans
In addition to being an organic wine, Finca Luzón Sin Sulfitos Añadidos is suitable for vegan consumption. We do not use animal products, which responds to the growing demand of consumers looking for vegan wines and sustainable wines. This aspect adds value to our wine, which stands out for its quality, and its respect for different lifestyles.
Tasting notes
Finca Luzón Sin Sulfitos Añadidos is a wine that impresses from the very first moment. Its intense cherry colour with garnet rim is indicative of its richness and concentration. On the nose, we find aromas of red and black fruits, together with balsamic notes and Mediterranean herbs such as rosemary and rockrose, providing freshness and complexity.
On the palate, the wine is fleshy and smooth, with a balanced acidity that gives it great length. Reminiscences of ripe fruit and Mediterranean scrub remain, leaving a lingering sensation. It is an authentic representation of the Monastrell grape in its purest form.
Organic viticulture and minimum intervention
At Bodegas Luzón we are committed to organic viticulture and minimal intervention. We believe that wine should be a faithful reflection of the terroir, which is only possible when working in harmony with nature. Finca Luzon’s Monastrell without added sulphites is a clear example of this philosophy.
The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully selecting the grapes to ensure maximum quality. Organic harvests are kept separate to avoid any cross-contamination. In the winery, we follow strict processes that guarantee respect for the environment and the health of the vineyard.
