Bodegas Juan Gil

THE HISTORY

Founded in 1916 by Juan Gil Jiménez, this is the Gil Family's first winery, created with the goal of showcasing the quality of the native Monastrell grape. Over 104 years, the winery has been consolidated and improved, applying technological advancements to the traditional knowledge passed down through the years.

THE TERROIR

The wines of Jumilla are the ambassadors of a town of contrasts, whose personality comes from the earth. It is surprising that from the sand and limestone screes, a geological legacy from the Triassic period, such a rich myriad of qualities can be obtained. From the golden Moscatel to the gourmand rosé, from the insolent red of the youngest Monastrell to the dominant scarlet of the crianzas aged in wood. To understand the fighting spirit of the people from Jumilla, you must feel the relentless summer sun, the freezing winter chill and the contrastof temperatures. In this tenacity for life, land and farmer have learned to retain the scarce rainfalls and transform adversity into wines.
