More Info
Crafted by the respected Juan Gil winery in the Jumilla DO, the grapes come from more than 40-year-old vines grown at an altitude over 700 metres above sea level. Meticulously handpicked and vinified in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 25ºC, after finishing malolactic fermentation, wine was aged for 4 months into French and American oak barrels.

"This juicy and vibrant, summer-berry and wild-cherry nose leads to a very plush and deep-set palate with a sleek, juicy and attractive feel. So vibrant. Drink now."

Gismondi on Wine, Nov/2019

"Busy, warm, open, luxurious, hedonistic, soft and more: this is Juan Gill yellow label in a nutshell. There are cherries and chocolates, baked blackcurrant, raisin, and licorice, with chalky tannins. Rustic and frankly a touch rambunctious, it is a party red par excellence best paired with meatball appetizers. Ready to drink."

20 under $20 for September 2016 "...Speaking of stuffing, there is a ton of it in the 2015 Monastrell from Juan Gil, a wine that manages to be fruity, big and oaky while retaining a great level of drinkability. Clearly, mourvedre (monastrell, in Spanish) finds a very peculiar balance on the sunny slopes of southern Spain."

Best Value "Full-bodied, juicy, savoury and delicious Spanish red wine offering great value. Loaded with dark wild blackberries, purple plums and forest-deep cherries and cedar. Decant this wine 1-2 hours for maximum pleasure. Pair with veal chops."
