Juan Gil 18 meses is a red wine from the winery Juna Gil in the D.O Jumilla. The winery is located in Jumilla in the north of the province of Murcia.
Juan Gil 18 meses is produced from Monastrell (60%), Cabernet (30%) and Syrah (10%). The grapes originate from very old vines (70 years old), planted at a height of 700 meters above sea level in sandy, chalky and stony soils which are very poor in nutrients.
This type of soil combined with a large range of temperatures favours a scarce grape production, this is translated into an exceptional concentration of flavours.
For the production of Juan Gil 18 meses, each varietal is produced separately. The maceration and fermentation process is performed in small stainless steel containers and the malolactic fermentation in French and American oak barrels.
Once finished, the wine rests in French and American oak barrels for 18 months. Lastly, the blend is made and remains in the containers until bottled.
Bodegas Juan Gil is the originator of the group Juan Gil Bodegas Familiares (Gil Family Estates), which gives its name to a reduced group of small wineries scattered throughout the Spanish geography. These wineries have been incorporated into the family since 2002, with the common denominator of using native varieties, in addition to offering a cared-for image, and an unbeatable value for money within the niche where each of their projects is located. Juan Gil is a clear bet for an area of great oenological interest, Jumilla, conceived under the philosophy of empowering the identity of the terroir, as well as the personality and the quality of the native variety, Monastrell.
