The Juan Gil Jumilla Yellow Label, a showpiece of the renowned Juan Gil family business, located in the heart of Jumilla since 1916, is a testament to both tradition and innovation. This young wine with a distinctive character grows in an extreme climate characterized by hot summers and long, cold winters. At a pleasant altitude of 700 meters above sea level, the grapes enjoy abundant sunshine. Thanks to the nutrient-rich soil, the grapes can develop optimally, resulting in a beautiful, unique, and flavorful wine.
The quality of the Juan Gil winery
This winery, known for its pioneering role in establishing Jumilla as a top wine region, has significantly contributed to the prestige and potential of the region's wines through its excellent wines, including the Juan Gil Jumilla Yellow Label. The focus on the qualities of the Monastrell grape, a core aspect of the Juan Gil Jumilla Yellow Label, underscores the winery's dedication to both its heritage and modern winemaking techniques.
The carefully crafted Juan Gil Jumilla Yellow Label is a masterpiece made from hand-picked Monastrell grapes. The grapes are rigorously controlled and selected in the winery, after which they ferment in stainless steel tanks for 15 days at a controlled temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. Before aging, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in tanks. Finally, the wine is aged for four months in both French and American oak barrels.
The intense flavors of Juan Gil Jumilla Yellow Label
The Juan Gil Jumilla Yellow Label captivates with its intense, deep cherry color in the glass. The aroma reveals powerful fruit aromas of juicy cherries, ripe blackberries, and currants. This is complemented by spicy notes and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, a perfect balance of all the intense flavors is achieved. The fruity notes blend harmoniously with the warm, spicy accents. The texture is silky and full, with ripe tannins that enhance the structure and create a pleasant mouthfeel. The lively freshness provides an invigorating character and contributes to the wine's complexity.
