Honoro Vera is the new project of the Gil family, world-renowned for their El Nido and Clio wines. They also own some of the finest, small-scale estates where they bring out the best of the region. Each of these wines is a true gem. The name Honoro Vera is a tribute to the Gil family, where Honoro is named after Miquel Gil's grandfather and Vera after his grandmother.

The Honoro Vera Rosé is a relatively new wine in the Honoro Vera Collection. We carry the already very popular Honoro Vera Garnacha , and the other Honoro Vera wines (part of the Juan Gil Family) excel in value for money, and this delightfully refreshing rosé is no exception.

This Gil Family Estates Honoro Vera Rosé is a beautiful, light, salmon-colored rosé with hints of watermelon rind on the nose. The palate is clean and fresh with notes of red fruit and berries, including strawberry and cherry, and finishes with another hint of watermelon. A crisp and refreshing rosé with a mineral edge and a long, dry finish reminiscent of the Provençal style, and at 12.5% alcohol, it's still modestly alcoholic.

Winemaking notes: This wine is a blend of Tempranillo and Syrah. It was made using a combination of direct pressing and the saignée method and vinified in steel tanks. The juice is then fermented only at a low temperature (18-20°C/65-68°F) to preserve maximum aromas. The wine is VEGAN certified.

Braces:
91/100 – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit (2018 vintage)
90/100 – James Suckling (2016 vintage)

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze Honoro Vera Rosé van Gil Family Estates biedt een frisse en lichte smaak met hints van watermeloen op de neus, aangevuld met smaken van aardbei en kers en een mineralige ondertoon in de lange droge afdronk. Zijn lichte zalmkleurige tint en de fruitige, marinade-minerale stijl maken hem bijzonder geschikt bij gevogelte en salades, en ook als verfrissende borrel of romantisch terrasbier; een licht gekoelde serveertemperatuur accentueert zijn Provensaalse allure. Voor extra flair kun je hem combineren met luchtige gegrilde kip, gazpacho of salades met citrus en verse bieslook, en eventueel kort aan tafel laten sudderen met een scheutje rozenwater voor een fleurige touch.

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
