Juan Gil Silver Label 2021

Bodegas Juan Gil selected Monastrell grapes from old vineyards with low yields, planted on limestone and very stony soils that are farmed in an environmentally friendly way. The result is a wine with a deep red colour, abundant ripe fruit aromas and a long spicy, well-balanced finish, with toasted notes provided by the French wood.

2021 is a cooler and fresher year than 2020, even though both were very good. The 2021 Juan Gil (silver label) feels more harmonious, complex and deep than the 2020, as I noticed in most wines when I tasted both years; it's longer and more elegant, very clean. It has similar parameters but the perception is fresher. It matured in French oak barrels.
