Description
| Notes | |||
| "This wine has a very dark cherry color with purple tones, showing in the nose powerful aromas of red berries along with toasted and smoked notes from aging in the oak barriques. It has a good structure with ripe and sweet tannins. In the mouth it is very long and with a perfect balance between fruit, alcohol, and oak tones, which makes it very pleasant. Pair with paella with meat, stewed meat, stewed vegetables, mushrooms, poultry, sauces, fish, smoked seafood, blue and cured cheese, red meat, and roasted and baked meat." —winemaker |
| Critical Acclaim | |||
| "I also tasted the following vintage, the 2018 Juan Gil (silver label), from a cooler and rainier, more continental vintage than the 2017 I tasted next to it. The origin is the same, Monastrell from their own old, non-irrigated vines fermented in stainless steel and matured in French oak barrels for around 12 months. This is the first vintage that is certified organic. There were some challenges, but they resulted in a fresh and balanced wine with integrated oak and a juicy and round palate. They have introduced optical sorting of the grapes, and perhaps that's why there is more precision and purity. They cannot do manual sorting at this price point, but optical sorting seems like a good alternative. 2018 is a more difficult vintage than the 2017, yet this wine is better, juicier and seems to absorb the oak better, with just a smoky touch that reminded me somehow of a Northern Rhône. Really impressive. 312,000 bottles. It was bottled in June 2020." —Wine Advocate |
