Juan Gil, a family business founded in 1916 in the center of the city of Jumilla, is a champion of the mapping of the Jumilia as a (top) wine region and has led several winemakers to stand 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 blended tradition and news technology with respect for the environment. Juan Gill is also the creator of the famous Clio and the world famous El Nido.
The 12 meses are reappointed to Silver Label. The 12 Meses is made from the Monastrell grape and comes from vineyards over 50 years old. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak. The color is Purple-red and red and black fruit such as red currant and blackberry can be seen in the nose. 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 is impressive. In addition, this wine is made with respect for nature and no chemicals are used here.
We are not going to deny it; We are a big fan of Juan Gill and we especially like that it has wines in the top segment, such as the Clio and the El Nido, as well as wines that are made with love and have a high quality but also affordable (ex: the Pedrera Alta). In the Netherlands we have the honor to supply this special line from Juan Gill. In addition to the Juan Gill 12 Meses we also have the Juan Gill Pedrera Alta, L´Altre de Can Blau and the 4 Meses (Yellow label). Great Price / Quality.
