Description
The Honoro Vera wines, produced by the Juan Gil Family Estates, are modern and accessible wines from Spain that perfectly reflect the expression of indigenous grapes and Spanish wine regions. These wines are part of a broad portfolio of Juan Gil, a renowned winery with more than a century of history. Honoro Vera is known for its excellent value for money, with a focus on authentic, fruit-driven and terroir-expressive wines.
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
The Honoro Vera series excels in price-quality and that is also the case with this delicious Honoro Vera Rueda Verdejo. The Honoro Vera Blanco is an accessible, fresh and aromatic white wine that perfectly reflects the modern character of Spanish wines. Straw yellow in the glass with an unmistakable Verdejo in the nose. Fresh and sour tones, juicy with white fruit, pear and melon in the nose, but also some green tones as befits a Verdejo. In the mouth especially very tasty because it is fruity but also a very pleasant acidity and without being overly sweet and that makes the wine very balanced and pleasant to drink. With its fruity flavor profile and lively acidity it is an ideal choice for warm days, light dishes, or just to enjoy as an aperitif. An excellent choice for those looking for a quality and affordable white wine.

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.
Organic/organic viticulture and sustainability are important elements in the vision of the Gil Family. Click here to see a nice video overview: Gil Family Estates - Video
