Juan Gil Monastrell - Monastrell - (Please note smart new label - not as shown on left - now called Monastrell 4) Made in the Jumilla region on Spain's east coast, this Monastrell is really rich and flavoursome. A dark, chunky wine. Full of blackberry and plum fruit with hints of vanilla spice and coffee. The palate is warm and rich with layers of lush spicy plum and cherry fruit, there's even a touch of chocolate tones on the finish. The Gil family have been major producers in Jumilla since the early 20th century but took a major step forward when Miguel Gil, great-grandson of the company's founder, built a new bodega in time for the 2003 vintage. Situated on the slopes of the Penarubia mountain, the highest part of Jumilla with poor stony soils noted for its richly flavoured, concentrated Monastrell, the bodega is surrounded by 120 hectares of estate vineyards. Bodegas Juan Gil is dedicated to producing powerful yet approachable modern wines from the Monastrell (aka Mourvèdre) grape. Fermented in stainless steel then aged in French and American oak for around 4 months. |
