Juan Gil, a family business founded in 1916 in the center of the city of Jumilla, is a champion of putting Jumilla on the map as a (top) wine region. This has led to several generations of winemakers emerging over the past decades to reveal the incredible potential of this region. True to its origins, Juan Gil has seamlessly blended tradition and the latest technology with respect for the environment. Juan Gil is also the maker of the famous Clio and the world-renowned El Nido. The Celler Can Blau project aims to develop a line of high-quality wines from indigenous grape varieties (Syrah, Monastrell, Grenache, Carigan). This cuvée bears the mark of Australian winemaker Sarah Morris – known for her famous autochthonous blends.

The Can Blau Blau is a blend of Cariñena, Syrah, and Garnacha that has aged 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 situated in limestone soils to produce 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.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze sappige, soepele blend toont rijp bosfruit zoals bosbes en pruim met frisse mineraaltinten en een vleugje lavendel en zachte eikenhoutsporen na vier maanden vatrijping, wat zorgt voor een evenwichtig mondgevoel met prettige zuurgraad en zachte tannines. Daardoor sluit de wijn prachtig aan bij rundvlees, lam, charcuterie, stoofschotels en barbecue omdat het fruit en de mineraliteit vetten en umami verzachten terwijl de milde tannines structuur geven; extra goed werken gegrild of gerookt vlees, langzaam gegaarde stoofschotels en geroosterd lamsvlees of côte de boeuf op de huid voor maximale smaakcombinatie.

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.
