Description

Luzón Colección Monastrell

Bodegas Luzón is one of the main producers and exporters of quality wines of the D.O. Jumilla, and one of its most historic wineries, producing wine since the late nineteenth century.

The wine growing area of ​​Jumilla is located southeast of Spain, north of the region of Murcia. The climate is continental, influenced by the Mediterranean Sea with warm days and cold nights. The result is a harsh climate, which causes a thick textured soil and allows to obtain small grape bunches, with a good concentration of sugar, excellent acidity and thicker skins.

To reach our origins, we must go back to 1841. Don José de Molina, commander of the Royal Armies stationed in the Spanish colony of Manila (Philippines), decided to return to his homeland, Jumilla. It is then when he named his land as “Finca Luzón”, in honor of the island where he was so long.

This winery would be created for his daughter Ana Josefa de Molina, remaining until the 80s of the 20th century. The inheritance of the land is linked to the female branches of the family.

We are in one of the oldest wineries in the Jumilla area and that, in addition, from its origins and for much of its history, was directed by women.
