Se vendimia de forma manual, en cajas pequeñas de 10 a 15 kilos, para preservar al máximo la integridad de la uva. Tras su recolección, los racimos se enfrían durante 24 horas a 6 ºC en cámara frigorífica, y posteriormente se seleccionan cuidadosamente en mesa antes de iniciar la vinificación. Este proceso meticuloso garantiza que solo las mejores uvas formen parte de Altos de Luzón Edición Especial 2023.
Winemaking
Altos de Luzón Edición Especial 2023 es un tinto ecológico con crianza, cuya fermentación se desarrolla durante 8 a 10 días sin superar los 26 ºC. La maceración con los hollejos se prolonga entre 10 y 15 días, extrayendo así todo el carácter de la monastrell.
Aging
El vino envejece durante 9 meses en barricas de roble americano y francés, adquiriendo complejidad, equilibrio y una expresión auténtica del terruño jumillano.
Vineyard
Description
<p><strong>Altos de Luzón Edición Especial 2023</strong> se elabora exclusivamente con uvas monastrell ecológicas procedentes de la parcela La Melera, un viñedo en vaso de secano con más de 40 años de historia. Situado a 675 metros de altitud, en La Venta del Puerto, este terreno pobre y arenoso da lugar a frutos pequeños, intensos y con una acidez natural que aporta frescura y estructura al vino.</p>
With over a century of history, the recent trajectory of Luzón places it as one of the revolutionary wineries in the D.O. Jumilla and the entire southeastern region of Spain. It is one of the most important wineries in the area along with Bodegas y Viñedos Casa de la Ermita and Juan Gil Bodegas Familiares, sharing the responsibility of elevating the monastrell variety as one of the flagship grapes of the national wine scene.
The origins of Bodegas Luzón stem from the successive union of winegrowers and producers in the Jumilla region since 1916, a cooperative effort that expanded, modernized, and became established as a winery until 2005, when Grupo Fuertes acquired the majority share of the company and undertook significant investments to equip Bodegas Luzón with the most advanced technology in favor of a well-cared-for and closely monitored vineyard. Today, Luzón is a cutting-edge winery strongly committed to wine tourism. It manages a total of 1,200 hectares of vineyards, of which 412 are owned.
