General Information
Honoro Vera Ecológico 2024 se elabora a partir de monastrell procedente de viñedos ecológicos plantados sobre suelos calizos pobres, que aportan una buena mineralidad y frutos de gran concentración y calidad.
La vendimia se realiza de forma manual, seleccionándose así las mejores uvas. La vinificación se lleva a cabo en depósitos de acero inoxidable, a baja temperatura, tras una maceración prefermentativa en frío realizada con el objetivo de extraer los aromas de la uva. El vino se embotella tras su estancia en depósito, sin paso por roble, para salvaguardar su frescura y su carácter frutal.
Bodegas Juan Gil es una empresa familiar que se funda en 1906, cuando el mismo Juan Gil Jiménez construye la bodega del mismo nombre. Actualmente, cuenta con más de 350 hectáreas de viñedo propio en Jumilla, lugar donde se cultiva la uva reina por excelencia: la monastrell. Con esta uva, la bodega familiar elabora vinos de gran calidad y personalidad como Honoro Vera Ecológico 2024.
Este tinto de la D.O. Jumilla es un vino vivo, expresivo, fresco y muy frutal. Acompáñalo con platos de verdura, setas, arroces, carnes blancas y rojas con salsas cremosas, quesos semicurados y embutidos sin mucho pimentón.
Creators' opinion
Honoro Vera Ecológico luce un color rojo picota de capa media alta. En la nariz destacan atractivos aromas florales con toques de frutas maduras y un fondo balsámico. Es equilibrado y fresco en boca, vivo y sabroso con una adecuada acidez y nobles taninos de fruta madura.
The winery
Founded in 1916, Bodegas Juan Gil is a family winery that has elevated the name of Jumilla and Mediterranean wines to the highest level on the international stage. Currently governed by the fourth generation, with Miguel Gil as the visible head, it has already become a wine empire with several brands in other regions. The original winery was located in the urban area of Jumilla, where previous generations of the family produced bulk wines from monastrell. The new facilities are located in the Paraje de la Aragona, 10 km from Jumilla, surrounded by 350 hectares of vineyards at over 700 meters above sea level. From there come wines that represent the most modern and dynamic side of the denomination.
Miguel Gil studied aeronautical engineering, but in the nineties, he returned to his homeland; inheriting the legacy of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, he directed his professional life towards the world of wine. After working at another historic and pioneering winery in the region, Luzón, in 2001 he decided to take charge of the family winery, as well as founding a new winery which he named El Nido. He knew that conquering the international market was essential, as at the time the denomination had not yet established itself as a quality reference. Thus, he focused on the best vineyards and the best barrels, and won over the U.S. market, where open-minded consumers embraced his wines for their exceptional quality-to-price ratio.
By 2004, more than 75,000 bottles of Juan Gil 12 Meses 2002, their most emblematic wine, were being sold in the United States. Shortly thereafter, their wines El Nido and Clio received major recognition from critic Robert Parker. Today, Juan Gil is the seed of a powerful group: Viñas Familia Gil, which continues to grow, always committed to terroir and native varieties.
