Honoro Vera is the new project of the Juan Gil family, who are world famous for their El Nido and Clio wines, but also have very small beautiful domains where the best of the region is brought forward on a very small scale. All these wines are each and every one gems. The name Honoro Vera is a tribute to the Gil family, where Honoro is the name of Miquel Gil's grandfather and Vera of his grandmother.

In 2005, Bodega Ateca, 55 hectares in size, was founded in the village of the same name. The Honoro Vera Monastrell is made from Monastrell and Mourvedre from a very old gnarled vineyard. The vines are planted on calcareous soils without irrigation with very low yields and without the use of chemical products or synthetic pesticides.

The traditional fermentation is followed by a short maturation in French oak barriques (3-5 months). The wine has a great aromatic complexity and length with ripe blackberries, smoke and flowers. This mouth-filling Monastrell, with aromas of blueberries, herbs and a medium live acidity is a full-bodied wine with a great price/quality ratio. At Juan Gil wines all sustainable or organic takes place

In Perswijn the wine has been given the status: Selected and that is not surprising given the unprecedentedly good price-quality ratio.
