Varietal Composition: 100% Monastrell The flagship wine, Juan Gil Silver Label, is made with certified organic Monastrell grapes from over 40-year-old vines. The chalky and rocky limestone soils, poor in nutrients, are ideal to grow the Monastrell varietal, and the vineyards are low yielding, about 1.04 tons/acre. The Gil family uses progressive winemaking techniques including laser optic sorters after grape harvest to ensure the best fruit is selected. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak before bottling. 93 Points, Guia Peñín. |
