2023 Juan Gil Yellow label

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-renowned 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.

The Juan Gil Yellow Label is a powerful and warm red wine with ripe black fruit such as blackberries and plums, supported by hints of spices, cocoa, vanilla and a firm structure with soft tannins. The wine matures partly in wood, which gives it complexity and roundness. Due to its full body and ripe style, it goes well with savoury, spicy and lightly smoked dishes, both with meat and roasted vegetables.

1. Grilled lamb chops with rosemary and garlic
Lamb has a distinct, slightly gamey character that goes perfectly with the spicy and earthy notes of Monastrell. Rosemary and garlic enhance the Mediterranean touch and match the character of the wine.

2. Roasted vegetables from the oven with eggplant, pepper, onion and thyme
Monastrell has a warm, ripe style that pairs well with roasted vegetables. The natural sweetness of peppers and onions, and the earthy notes of eggplant, are beautifully supported by the fruity character of the wine.

3. Grilled burgers with smoked paprika powder and old cheese
The juiciness and spiciness of the burger match the powerful structure of the wine. The smoked paprika and cheese complement the wood influence and spiciness of the wine.

4. Beef stew with tomato, bay leaf and cloves
A slow cooked stew brings out the best in this wine. The wine has enough power to accompany the savoury flavours, while the acidity in the tomato works well with the fresh undertone in the wine.

5. Pasta with chorizo, tomato and black olives
Chorizo adds a spicy, smoky note that perfectly complements the spicy character of the wine. Tomato and olives add depth and savouriness, making it well balanced with the full flavour of Juan Gil.

6. Lentil stew with carrot, celeriac, onion and spices such as cumin and paprika powder
A hearty vegetarian option. The lentil texture and deep earthy flavours combine well with the intensity of the wine, while the spices bridge the Mediterranean character of Monastrell.
