Juan Gil, family business founded in 1916 in the center of the city of Jumilla and is the champion of putting the Jumilia on the map as a (top) wine region and has led to several generations of winemakers standing 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 merged tradition and technology with respect for the environment. Juan Gill is also the creator of the famous Clio and the world-famous El Nido.
The Juan Gil Blue Label (new name per vintage 2016). Previously the wine was called the Juan Gil 18 Meses and abroad the JUAN GIL ETIQUETA AZUL is a very scarce and beautiful wine. As the name suggests, the 18 meses has been aged for 18 months in French oak barrels and American oak. It is the top model from Juan Gil's Label series (Yellow, Silver and Blue). The grapes come from very old Monastrell grapes supplemented with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level with a very low yield. The wine is dark purple in color and has a beautiful nose of graphite, earthy notes, spices, black fruit and a hint of balsamic vinegar. The wine is full bodied with a nice creamy mouthfeel with a nice long aftertaste. The wine is ready to drink but will improve further in the coming years and has very good storage potential. The Juan Gil 18 Meses or the Blue Label is a very scarce wine with many international enthusiasts, so it is important to be quick.

The oak of the 2021 Juan Gil (blue label) is subtler and feels more integrated into the wine. It's a fresher year of wines with more freshness and better balance, more elegance and length. It has 15.5% alcohol and finishes dry. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023.
Juan Gil from Jumilla keeps working with their sustainability approach and are one of three IWCA certified wineries in Spain working toward zero emissions in 2050. The wines from their own vineyards have been certified organic since 2022. They have 870 hectares certified organic and still buy a small percentage of grapes—all from organic growers—for the young wines. All the Monastrell is dry farmed, and they are worried by the lack of rain in the last few years. Not a small thing... They produce three million bottles and have no intention to grow; they've been stable for the last three years, and the focus is on improvement. They have introduced optical sorting for the young wines.

From: The Rambunctious Catalan Mediterranean and Beyond (Sep 2024)
The 2021 Juan Gil Blue Label is a blend of 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah, sourced from Jumilla. Aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels, this purple-hued wine offers aromas of cotton candy, vanilla, smoke and candied fruits. Indulgent and intense on the palate, it features an enticing oak flavor and a clingy mouthfeel. This is a well-crafted, commercially appealing 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
