Juan Gil, a family business founded in 1916 in the center of the city of Jumilla, is the champion of putting the Jumilia on the map as a (top) wine region and has led to several generations of winemakers emerging in recent decades to exploit its incredible potential. of this region. True to its origins, Juan Gil has seamlessly merged tradition and the latest technology with respect for the environment. Juan Gill is also the creator of the famous Clio and the world-famous El Nido. The Celler Can Blau project aims to develop a line of high-quality wines from indigenous grape varieties (Syrah, Monastrell, Grenache, Cargigan). This cuvee shows the hand of Australian winemaker Sarah Morris - known for the famous indigenous blends.
The Can Blau Blau is a blend of Cariñena, Syrah & Garnacha which has matured for 4 months in French oak barrels. The Garnacha vineyards are planted in slate soils -llicorella-, the Cariñena vineyards grow in clay soils and the Syrah vineyards are located in limestone soils to obtain this complex wine. This friendly and accessible wine is a mouthful of fruit with notes of mineral, lavender, blueberry and plum. Tasty, juicy, smooth and balanced. It is not without reason that this is a highly sought-after wine with a great price/quality ratio.

Wijnhuis
If the yolk of an egg represents the Priorat, then the egg white is the Denominacion de Origin 'Montsant'. In horseshoe shape around the famous Priorat region. For several years now, the enterprising Gil family (famous with their Clio, Silver and Blue Label and of course the iconic El Nido) has owned the beautiful winery Can Blau here. The 35-year-old vineyards are planted with the typical autochthonous grape varieties: Mazuela, Syrah and Garnacha. The wines receive unanimously very high ratings from the international wine journalists.
Can Blau has the typical scarlet color of the red wines from the Priorat region, where the Montsant Designation of Origin is located. The Can Blau wines are made from the typical Montasant/Priorat grapes coming from different terroirs and all this together gives the uniqueness of the wines of Can Blau. The tannic Cariñena grape is harvested from the valleys of the clay soils. The tasty Syrah grapes grow on the steep limestone slopes. The Garnacha grape sprouts from the old and dark slate of the Priorat. The allure created by the combination of these three varieties in different proportions leads to the red wines of Cellers Can Blau.
