Bodegas Juan Gil Description
Grapes used to produce this wine come from old vineyards. Chalky and stony soils, poor in nutrients, are ideal for the growing of the Monastrell variety, with a low yield of about 2.500 kg/Ha. This wine has been matured in contact with French wood.
Densely colored wine with an impressive, impactful nose. Spice, cedar, toast and chocolate are layered with blackberry and plum. The palate has juicy ripe plum and a textural earthy chocolate sensation. Tannins build to the finish. A complex wine with great balance, concentration and length.

"The 2020 Juan Gil (silver label) feels young and primary, ripe and with notes of young wine, berries, herbs and a touch of beeswax and honey. It has 15% alcohol and is juicy and full-bodied, with integrated oak and with grape flavors in the finish."
