Description
Juan Gil, a family business founded in 1916 in the centre of the town of Jumilla, is the champion of putting Jumilia on the map as a (top) wine region and has led several winemakers to stand up for the prestige/potential of the wines of the area and the qualities of the Moscatel and Monastrell grapes. True to its origins, this winery has seamlessly fused 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 Juan Gil Blanco is the white wine from the Juan Gil series (yellow, silver and blue label). It is a dry wine made from Moscatel/Muscat grapes from a high altitude vineyard (700 meters) in the valley of La Aragona, north of Jumilla, with chalky soils, a dry climate and many hours of sunshine that form a microclimate that is perfect for this variety. Due to the altitude, the differences between day and night are large, which ensures elegance and good acidity. In the glass, the Juan Gil Moscatel has a light straw yellow color with a green tinge. In the nose aromas of fresh melon, peach and kiwi complemented by jasmine and white pepper. Juicy, tightly wrapped stone fruit and honey aromas in the mouth and all that makes this very pleasant wine juicy, refreshing with a long, intensely spicy aftertaste.
This is a delicious wine with chicken, fish, shellfish, pasta salad and Thai food and a great accompaniment to the white gold - asparagus.

The pale and aromatic white 2023 Blanco from organic vines planted in 2007 had part of the volume (30%) fermented in 500- and 600-liter oak barrels to avoid oak in the wine. It has a contained 13% alcohol, a pH of 3.3 and 6.1 grams of acidity, finishing bone dry. Some people like this white very early on, but I think it's better now, subtler, with less primary and varietal aromas. The wine is polished and tender, with some minty notes, floral and with a balanced mouthfeel with a bitter twist in the finish. This is a variety that evolves well in bottle. Great value. 110,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2024.
From the 2023 harvest, all the vineyards from Juan Gil, some 900 hectares (!), are certified organic, and the wines too. There's a clear focus on sustainability here, way beyond cultivating organically, using solar power, recycling residues and generating their own compost, etc. They now produce around three million bottles, but 2022 and 2023 have seen low yields because of the extreme heat and drought. The two vintages are different, despite being warm and dry. In 2022, they had lots of rain in March, which provided the plants with good reserves; and there was also some rain in late September/early October, so they could harvest the old vines into late October. In 2023, it was a lot more complicated, and they only harvested 25% of what they normally do; so, the 2023 wines are a lot more powerful, concentrated and muscular.

From: Mediterranean Spain: Where to Start? (Mar 2021)
Green-tinged straw. Lively orchard fruit and melon aromas, along with a deeper suggestion of nectarine. Taut and sharply focused in the mouth, offering vibrant pear and honeydew melon flavors that take on a spicy aspect with air. Closes with very good persistence and a bitter lemon pith note. This would be a great wine to drink with modern sushi preparations.

The Gil family owns wineries across Spain but their roots are in Murcia and Jumilla, to be exact, where the company was established in 1916. Today they own 350 hectares in Jumilla. Bodegas Juan Gil has built a solid reputation for producing outstanding, Monastrell-based wines that consistently offer serious bang for the buck. The entry-level bottlings are some of the greatest red wine values in the world to my mind. Thanks to their large production they are very easy to find. The vines at Juan Gils are mostly old and winemaking is straightforward, with the wines bottled on the young side to preserve fruit intensity and freshness.

The beautiful bodega Juan Gil was founded in 1916 and has been owned by the Gil family for generations. Unlike the majority of Jumilla, the vineyards are located on the plateau between the mountains. As a result, Juan Gil benefits from a more temperate climate compared to the wineries located in the valley. The metamorphosis on Juan Gil's domain is truly spectacular. Where Juan Gil was always one of the leading wineries of the Jumilla region, today it marks itself more than ever as the top winery of the region. This is mainly due to the constant investments of owner Miguel Gil. His wines from the Jumilla region, which was synonymous with mass and basic, now rank among the very best in Spain. And what is beautiful, not only the top cuvées but any wine with the Gil signature is a pleasure. In addition to the well-known and famous wines of Juan Gil under the name El Nido and Clio, the family has beautiful domains including Pedrera, the 12 Meses (silver Label)| and the L'Altre de Can Blau. All in all, beautiful wines which are all organically grown and produced and have an excellent price/quality ratio
Miguel Gil also owns the top estate El Nido and out of respect and love for his region (and great wine!), is choosing quality over quantity in Jumilla, which had been undiscovered for years. For the mini-project of Bodegas El Nido, he calls on the Australian top winemaker Chris Ringland (at Parker perfect for 100/100…). At this small Bodega, 2 wines are made: Clio & El Nido. The 16 hectares of Monastrell vineyards, which are 60 years old, are situated on terraces that are oriented to the northeast. In addition, 25 years ago, 12 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon were planted in the same region on the north-facing hills. Today, these unique vineyards offer top-quality grapes that are magnificently refined by the Gil-Ringland duo into Spain's most aristocratic wines.
