How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
The drying, grippy feel on your gums and tongue, as with strong tea. It comes from the skins and seeds of black grapes and from oak, and softens with age.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inJuan Gill , family business founded in 1916 in the center of the city of Jumilla and is the champion of putting the Jumilia on the map as a (top) wine region and has led to several winemakers standing 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 merged tradition and 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 (from Clio and El Nido) for the Spanish market, but we are the only ones allowed to carry these in the Netherlands.

The Pedrera Alta comes from the area of La Aragona, located at an altitude of approximately seven hundred meters. The vineyard is more than 30 years old and is located on a sandy/loamy plateau with a high percentage of limestone. Despite the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, the climate is continental, with little precipitation and large temperature contrasts between day and night. The wine matures 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 on the palate. 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.

Deze 2022 Juan Gil Pedrera Alta toont rijp rood en zwart fruit zoals kersen en braam, subtiele kruidigheid en vanille door tien maanden Frans eiken, met frisse zuurgraad en zachte tannines die zorgen voor een mooie, goed gestructureerde mondbeleving. Daardoor past hij uitstekend bij varkensvlees, lam, charcuterie en gerechten van de barbecue: de frisse zuurte en fruitigheid snijden door het vet en versterken geroosterde smaken, terwijl het lichte eiken de kruidigheid van vlees en charcuterie mooi complementeert; probeer hem licht gekoeld bij gegrilde varkenskarbonades met rozemarijn, langzaam gegaard lamsvlees of bij pittige chorizo en gemarineerde stukken van de barbecue voor het beste resultaat.
