Wine Alma de Luzon DOP Jumilla 2018

Alma de Luzon DOP is the result of a blending of two varietals - Monastrell and Syrah. Monastrell comes from La Traviesa, a vine that is already 45 years old. Syrah, on the other hand, grows in El Pocico, on sandy soils that allow the vine to have an extraordinary intensity and concentration of aromas. The wine is aged for 22 months in French and American oak barrels.

The collaboration between Monastrell and Syrah produces a remarkable effect starting with a captivating dark cherry color in the glass. The aromatic bouquet, on the other hand, is full of red and dark fruit aromas, spices and smoky notes. On the palate, Alma de Luzon is extremely juicy, characterful, yet silky and fresh.

This wine will be perfect in many situations - both with appetizers and with red meats. It's also the perfect complement to pizzas or pastes. Great aging potential makes it an excellent choice for a gift to the wine cellar.
