2021 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. Juan Gil was one of the first wineries to show a strong commitment to our planet. All energy is generated by solar panels and wind turbines, there is no irrigation, and no chemicals are used. This Juan Gil Silver Label is therefore certified organic and vegan. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. The color is purple-red, and the nose reveals notes of red and black fruit, such as red currant and blackberry. There are also beautiful notes of smoked wood and espresso. The finish reveals refined tannins. This is simply a fantastic wine, and the price-quality ratio is especially impressive. Furthermore, this wine is made with respect for nature and no chemicals were used. Starting with the 2019 vintage, they eliminated all raisins with their new optical sorting machine, resulting in exceptionally clean wines and further enhancing precision. They also reduced the toastiness of their barrels, enhancing the integration of the oak with the fruit.

The Juan Gil Silver Label is a fantastic wine with braised vegetables or a stew, and highly recommended with grilled bavette and slow-cooked pork belly. We think it's practically made to pair with BBQ/Green Egg spareribs—it's such a fantastic combination. Magnum version of 1.5 liters.

FACT: The Juan Gil Silver Label is an International Award Winner for a reason. For years, top Australian winemaker Chris Ringland has been overseeing the Gil Family project in Spain. Chris Ringland is no stranger to success, having scored 100/100 no fewer than 11 times at Parker.

Juan Gil, a family business founded in 1916 in the heart of Jumilia, is a champion of establishing Jumilia as a top wine region. It has led several winemakers to champion the prestige and potential of the region's wines and the qualities of the Monastrell grape. True to its roots, this winery has seamlessly blended tradition and modern technology with respect for the environment. Juan Gill is also the producer of the famous Clio and the world-renowned El Nido . We won't deny it; we're huge fans of Juan Gill and especially appreciate that they offer both top-tier wines, such as Clio and El Nido, as well as wines crafted with love and high quality that are also very affordable. All wines offer unbeatable value for money.

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 of course the fantastic Juan Gil Blanco and Juan Gil Rosé .
