Juan Gill , 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 from this area and the 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. kt by Juan Gill (vd Clio and El Nido) for the Spanish market, but we are the only ones allowed to carry these in the Netherlands. A wine from Juan Gill made with respect for nature and that for this price is unprecedented.
The Pedrera Alta comes from the area of La Aragona at about seven hundred meters altitude. The vineyard is over 30 years old and is situated on a sandy/loamy plateau with a high percentage of limestone. Despite its proximity to the Mediterranean, the climate is continental, with little precipitation and great temperature contrasts between day and night. The wine is aged for 10 months in French oak barrels. The Juan Gil Pedrera Alta reveals an exuberant expression of ripe fruit and is wonderfully fresh, fresh and well-structured in the mouth . This wine is absolutely beautiful when drunk slightly chilled.

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.
Organic/organic viticulture and sustainability are important elements in the vision of the Gil Family. Click here to see a nice video overview: Gil Family Estates - Video
