Juan Gil Silver Label 2023

Jumilla is a tough place to be a vine, yet these old bush vines, high in the hot, dusty hills of Jumilla produce characterful and fruit-packed wines from the local Monastrell grape. The Silver label represents Monastrell in a more serious, dark-fruited and powerful expression. The Monastrell grapes are selected from parcels of the estate's old vine fruit (over 40 years). These low-yielding vines grow in shallow, chalky soils on a bed of limestone and rock. After harvesting the grapes are macerated for 25 days, and then pressed and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
