Discover the bold elegance of Juan Gil Blue Label 750ml, a standout red blend that represents the best of Spains Jumilla region. This luxurious wine is crafted by Bodegas Juan Gil, a winery celebrated for transforming old-vine Monastrell into captivating, age-worthy wines that rival the worlds best.
Founded in 1916, Bodegas Juan Gil is a cornerstone of quality winemaking in southeastern Spain. Over four generations, the Gil family has remained true to their vision: to craft wines that reflect the rugged, sun-soaked terroir of Jumilla while embracing modern techniques that elevate every bottle to premium status.
Juan Gil Blue Label is their flagship expression a wine that shows the richness of Monastrell beautifully enhanced by Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, offering layers of fruit, spice, and finesse.
The grapes for Juan Gil Blue Label come from very old, low-yielding vines planted high in the rocky hills of Jumilla. With poor, stony soils and wide diurnal temperature swings, these vineyards produce grapes with naturally intense flavors and balanced acidity.
After careful hand-harvesting, each varietal Monastrell (about 60%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), and Syrah (10%) is vinified separately. The wine is then aged for about 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, allowing each grapes character to shine while adding polish and complexity.
Appearance: Deep, opaque cherry red with rich garnet reflections.
Aroma: A wonderfully expressive nose of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and juicy plum, lifted by notes of roasted coffee, warm baking spices, and subtle hints of sweet oak and balsamic undertones.
Palate: Full-bodied and powerful, yet refined. Flavors of black fruit compote, licorice, and dark chocolate glide across a mouthfeel that is both lush and structured. Well-integrated oak lends notes of toasted spice and a touch of vanilla, while velvety tannins and balanced acidity create a smooth, lingering finish.
Juan Gil Blue Label shines alongside hearty, robust dishes. Try it with:
Grilled ribeye or charred lamb chops
Slow-braised beef short ribs
Mushroom risotto or earthy lentil stew
A board of well-aged cheeses and cured meats
This wine benefits from being decanted for about an hour to fully reveal its depth and aromatic complexity. Serve at about 6064F (1618C) for optimal enjoyment.
