Wine Description:
Bodegas Luzón, a prominent winery in the Jumilla region of Spain, produces the Colección Monastrell Roble. This red wine, crafted from Monastrell grapes, benefits from the region’s rugged terrain and Mediterranean climate. The winemaking process involves manual and mechanical harvesting, followed by fermentation and maceration with skins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged for some months in French and American oak barrels, developing subtle notes of vanilla and spice. The result is a rich, full-bodied wine with balanced fruitiness and tannins, showcasing flavors of ripe blackberries and plums with a smooth, elegant mouthfeel and a lingering finish that captures the essence of Jumilla.
Pros:
  • Rich and full-bodied wine with intense aromas of dark fruits and spices

Wine Expert Note:

The Luzon Coleccion Monastrell Roble presents a deep cherry-red color with purple nuances at the edge of the glass. The nose reveals enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, sweet spices, coffee, and roasted notes, adding complexity to its bouquet. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with a fleshy and soft texture. Fresh, ripe tannins enhance its smooth, elegant mouthfeel, while flavors of black fruits, plums, and hints of chocolate and tobacco emerge. The oak aging provides a well-integrated, balanced structure, and the finish is lingering and pleasant. Enjoyable now, this wine also has potential for further development with cellaring.
