Details

This in the new vintage of Juan Gil Etiqueta Plata (Silver Label), also known as Juan Gil 12 Meses. 

A varietal Monastrell, this Spanish red wine is made from organically certified vineyards. This is a vegan certified wine too.

Made from over 50-year-old vines located in the highest area of DO Jumilla, the grapes were harvested by hand, destemmed and macerated for 25 days in stainless steel tanks.

After that, Juan Gil Etiqueta Plata 2021 was transferred into French oak barrels, where it completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for 12 months.
Year after year, this red wine from Jumilla of the Juan Gil winery is one of Spain's absolute best values.

Appearance

The wine Juan Gil Etiqueta Plata is deep ruby with a violet rim.

Nose

This expressive Monastrell smells of juicy and jammy red fruit, nuanced by some creamy and spicy remembrances. In the background, there is a dash of liquorice, and hints of violets and Mediterranean garrigue.

Palate

This wine of bodega Juan Gil is utterly Mediterranean and fresh. Wild berries, some earthy notions, tree bark, exotic spices, menthol, and some vegetal remembrances. This wine has a very good acidity, savoury tannins and a long finish.

Our personal opinion

A wine of remarkable consistency, Juan Gil Etiqueta Plata 2021, aka Juan Gil 12 meses, delivers well above expectations.

A fruity 2019 but,
Value
It's a quality wine but to sweet for me. I prefer the 2018 year, that was better in balance and I would rate that 4,5 stars.
