JUAN GIL

Juan Gil wine is the best expressions of the Monastrell grape variety.

Bodegas Juan Gil is established in 1916. Its vineyards are located in Jumilla, Murcia, Spain, on an altitude between 700 and 850 meters.

These land particularities are the characteristics that make Juan Gil’s wines interesting and unique.
