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 Monastrell grape. 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 Yellow Label by Juan Gil is made from hand-picked Monastrell (Mourvèdre), which after fermentation has matured for 4 months on partly French/partly American oak, after which it is placed back in stainless steel before being bottled. The Yellow Label (this wine was called the 4 Meses until the 2017 vintage) has an intense deep cherry color. Powerful aroma, attractive fruit aromas that remain beautifully balanced in the long aftertaste. Delicious glass! A bull's eye for a good barbecue, dinner or by the fire. The Yellow Label is now perfectly ready to drink and has a great price-quality ratio because a wine of this level for well under 10 euros is difficult to find.
We are not going to deny it; we are a big fan of Juan Gill and find it especially beautiful that he has both wines in the top segment, such as the Clio and the El Nido, as well as wines that are also made with love and have a high quality but are also very affordable. We have the honor in the Netherlands to deliver this special line of Juan Gill. Great Price/Quality.
In addition to the Yellow, Juan Gil also has the Silver Label (12 months maturation) and the Blue Label (18 months maturation) and of course the great Juan Gil Blanco

Wijnhuis
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.
