Juan Gil, a family business founded in 1916 in the centre of the town of Jumilla, is the champion of putting Jumilia on the map as a (top) wine region and has led several winemakers to stand up for the prestige/potential of the wines of the area and the qualities of the Moscatel and Monastrell grapes. True to its origins, this winery has seamlessly fused tradition and the latest technology with respect for the environment. Juan Gill is also the creator of the famous Clio and the world-famous El Nido.
The Juan Gil Blanco is the white wine from the Juan Gil series (yellow, silver and blue label). It is a dry wine made from Moscatel/Muscat grapes from a high altitude vineyard (700 meters) in the valley of La Aragona, north of Jumilla, with chalky soils, a dry climate and many hours of sunshine that form a microclimate that is perfect for this variety. Due to the altitude, the differences between day and night are large, which ensures elegance and good acidity. In the glass, the Juan Gil Moscatel has a light straw yellow color with a green tinge. In the nose aromas of fresh melon, peach and kiwi complemented by jasmine and white pepper. Juicy, tightly wrapped stone fruit and honey aromas in the mouth and all that makes this very pleasant wine juicy, refreshing with a long, intensely spicy aftertaste.
This is a delicious wine with chicken, fish, shellfish, pasta salad and Thai food and a great accompaniment to the white gold - asparagus.

The beautiful bodega Juan Gil was founded in 1916 and has been owned by the Gil family for generations. Unlike the majority of Jumilla, the vineyards are located on the plateau between the mountains. As a result, Juan Gil benefits from a more temperate climate compared to the wineries located in the valley. The metamorphosis on Juan Gil's domain is truly spectacular. Where Juan Gil was always one of the leading wineries of the Jumilla region, today it marks itself more than ever as the top winery of the region. This is mainly due to the constant investments of owner Miguel Gil. His wines from the Jumilla region, which was synonymous with mass and basic, now rank among the very best in Spain. And what is beautiful, not only the top cuvées but any wine with the Gil signature is a pleasure. In addition to the well-known and famous wines of Juan Gil under the name El Nido and Clio, the family has beautiful domains including Pedrera, the 12 Meses (silver Label)| and the L'Altre de Can Blau. All in all, beautiful wines which are all organically grown and produced and have an excellent price/quality ratio
Miguel Gil also owns the top estate El Nido and out of respect and love for his region (and great wine!), is choosing quality over quantity in Jumilla, which had been undiscovered for years. For the mini-project of Bodegas El Nido, he calls on the Australian top winemaker Chris Ringland (at Parker perfect for 100/100…). At this small Bodega, 2 wines are made: Clio & El Nido. The 16 hectares of Monastrell vineyards, which are 60 years old, are situated on terraces that are oriented to the northeast. In addition, 25 years ago, 12 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon were planted in the same region on the north-facing hills. Today, these unique vineyards offer top-quality grapes that are magnificently refined by the Gil-Ringland duo into Spain's most aristocratic wines.
Organic/organic viticulture and sustainability are important elements in the vision of the Gil Family. Click here to see a nice video overview: Gil Family Estates - Video
