GRAPE VARIETIES

Monastrell

VINIFICATION

The grapes are sourced from the same ungrafted organic vineyards used for Juan Gil Blue Label, These vineyards are planted in nutrientpoor, limestone, and stony soils without irrigation. Following alcoholic fermentation, 60% of the wine is matured in 500–600-liter French oak barrels, while the remaining portion undergoes malolactic fermentation in terracotta clay amphorae. Both components are aged for a total of 18 months before bottling, allowing for the development of complex aromas and refined structure.

TASTING NOTES

Deep cherry-red color with violet reflections, indicating excellent concentration. The nose reveals prominent aromas of ripe red fruits such as blackberry, plum, and black cherry, complemented by spicy notes of black pepper and dried herbs. Barrel aging imparts hints of vanilla and cocoa, while the terracotta clay amphorae contribute a subtle minerality with earthy undertones. On the palate, it is wellstructured, with firm, well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity, and a long finish that recalls ripe fruits, spices, and minerality, showcasing remarkable complexity derived from the aging process.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Ideal to pair with a wide variety of rice dishes, mushrooms, smoked products, aged and blue cheeses, grilled red meats, roasted lamb, pork, beef, and roasted vegetables.
