Luzón Origen de Luzón Syrah 2022

When you think of Spanish wines, Rioja often springs to mind. Or perhaps Ribera del Duero. A delicious Rueda followed by a Priorat. Let's be honest: most wine drinkers won't get much further, and that's perfectly fine. The wines from the aforementioned regions are incredibly delicious and deliver fantastic quality. But sometimes you crave something different, and with over fifty wine regions, the choice is endless in Spain. For those truly seeking to discover a different side of the Iberian Peninsula, the wines of Finca Luzon will surely delight. They originate from Jumilla in the Alicante countryside, where Monastrell reigns supreme.

The wines of Finca Luzon

Finca Luzon is located near the medium-sized town of Jumilla, a stone's throw from Murcia. The winery is a late bloomer. Its major successes, like those of many other wineries, only arrived in the mid-1990s. During that period, the vineyards were replanted, and a vision was established that clearly focused on Monastrell, but also gave non-native grapes a prominent place in the vineyards, such as Syrah. Thanks to the warm—and sometimes slightly hot—climate, Syrah produces dazzling wines.

There's also room for tension in this wine, with notes of smoke and pepper.
