Product Ratings

Decanter 91pt

Elegant, deep and layered nose with led by spirit-infused cherries, crushed violets and medicinal herbs. The palate is surprisingly fresh, with the juiciness of ripe red fruit (Stewed cherries, cherry pie, pomegranates, strawberry jam) lined by macerated Mediterranean herbs. Very soft tannins and vibrant, but soft, acidity. Very well presented.

Wine Enthusiast 91pt

This deep violet-colored wine has a nose of cassis, blackberry and tar. Black-cherry, raspberry, cocoa-powder and caramel flavors are wrapped in velvety tannins that sail into a lengthy, orange-zest-infused finish.

Ageing

12 months in American and French oak barrels.

History

In Altos de Luzon we pay homage to the special character of the Jumilla land. Its harsh climate and average altitude of 650 metres bring about dry and rugged conditions. In these lands, the Monastrell grape finds its inspiration and its reason for being. This is where it excels and performs at its optimal level. Jumilla's wine-growing history, like its people is defined by the landscape: on the outside rough and hardy, but inside full of beauty and riches.
