2020 Juan Gil Silver Label Magnum BIO

The Juan Gil Silver label (also called the 12 Meses or Etiqueta Plata) is made from the Monastrell grape (Mourvedre) and comes from vineyards over 50 years old. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak. The color is purple-red and the nose shows red and black fruits such as red currant and blackberry. Also beautiful notes of smoked wood and espresso. In the aftertaste, the refined tannins emerge. 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. From the 2018 vintage, the Silver Label Meses is also certified organic and vegan. From vintage 2019 they eliminate all raisins with their new optical sorting machine and that makes it a 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 a reason. The Australian top winemaker Chris Ringland has been guiding the Gil Family project in Spain for years. Chris Ringland is not just the first the best and scored no less than 11 times 100/100 at Parker.

Juan Gil, a family business founded in 1916 in the center of the city of Jumilla, is the champion of the map of 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 fused 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.

We're not going to deny it; We are a big fan of Juan Gill and especially like that it has wines in the top segment, such as the Clio and the El Nido, as well as wines that are also made with love and have a high quality but also very be affordable. All wines have a price/quality that is unbeatable.

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