2021 Juan Gil Silver label

The Juan Gil Silver label (also called the 12 Meses or Etiqueta Plata) is made from the Monastrell grape (Mourvedre) and comes from vineyards that are more than 50 years old. As one of the first wine companies, Juan Gil was very committed to our planet. All energy is generated with solar panels and wind turbines, there is no irrigation and no chemicals are used and this Juan Gil Silver Label is therefore organic and vegan certified. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak. The color is purple-red and the nose reveals red and black fruits such as red currant and blackberry. Also beautiful notes of smoked wood and espresso. The refined tannins emerge in the aftertaste. This is simply great wine and especially the price-quality ratio is impressive. In addition, this wine is made with respect for nature and no chemicals have been used. From vintage 2019 they eliminate all raisins with their new optical sorting machine and that makes very clean wines and has further increased the precision. They also reduced the toast of their barrels and that increases the integration of the oak with the fruit.

FACT: The Juan Gil Silver Label is an International Award Winner for good reason. Top Australian winemaker Chris Ringland has been supervising the Gil Family project in Spain for years. Chris Ringland is not just the first best and scored no fewer than 11 times 100/100 at Parker.

Juan Gil, family business founded in 1916 in the center of the city of Jumilla and is the champion of putting the Jumilia on the map as a (top) wine region and has led to several winemakers standing up for the prestige/potential of the wines of the area and qualities of the Monastrell grape. True to its origins, this winery has seamlessly merged tradition and technology with respect for the environment. Juan Gill is also the creator of the famous Clio and the world famous El Nido. We are not going to deny it; We are a big fan of Juan Gill and we especially like that he has wines in the top segment, such as the Clio and El Nido, as well as wines that are made with love and are of high quality, but also are very affordable. All wines have a price-quality ratio that is unbeatable.

In addition to the Silver Label, Juan Gil also has the Yellow Label (4-6 months maturing) and the Blue Label (18 months maturing) and of course the great Juan Gil Blanco and Juan Gil Rosé .
