Description
The Salto de Rana is a young red wine made from Garnacha. The grapes come from certified organic vineyards planted in mainly decomposed slate and gravelly clay soils. Maceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. After malolactic fermentation, the wine remained in stainless steel tanks until bottling. In the glass, Juan Gil Salto de Rana has a ruby red color with a violet edge. It has an intense fruit nose, dominated by ripe red, raspberry, currant, along with balsamic and mineral notes. Powerful in the mouth, full, pleasantly tannic and fruity with a light spiciness in the aftertaste. This young wine is a very versatile companion and of course a perfect glass to enjoy on its own. We prefer to drink this a little cooler. Delicious with pasta, vegetables, mushrooms, stewed meat, sausage, pork, roast meat, red and/or white meat, grilled meat, young or medium mature cheeses.

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
