The Jumilla DOP is one of the ten oldest wine regions in Spain, with its statute established in 1966. Unlike other areas, the phylloxera pest arrived late and slowly in Jumilla, allowing the preservation of ungrafted vines that are well adapted to the local climate and resistant to drought. The shift towards producing lighter wines is a response to current international demand, which favours fresh wines over the stronger, heavily oaked wines that were previously popular.
Bodegas Luzon takes its name from founder Don Jose de Molina who was a commander in the Royal Armies stationed in the Philippines in the 1800s. He named the property in honour of the island where he spent many years, and which always remained in his memory. In 2004 The Bodegas was acquired by the Fuertes family who have adapted the business to commit to more modern principles, starting with their sustainable responsibility.
