WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Dominio de Alma Monastrell is produced by Bodegas Luzon, a winery with a long history in Jumilla. The grapes are hand-harvested into small crates to maintain quality. While specific vinification details for the 2021 vintage are not available, Monastrell wines from the region often benefit from fermentation in concrete vats to preserve freshness. Some styles may undergo aging in oak barrels, which can enhance complexity and tannins. The winery practices sustainable viticulture, with a focus on respecting biodiversity and leveraging the natural hardiness of the Monastrell grape in the region's challenging climate.
