General Information
Honoro Vera Monastrell 2024 se elabora, principalmente, a partir de monastrell de viñedos viejos situados a unos 700 metros de altitud sobre el nivel del mar, con suelos calizos y pedregosos que aportan al conjunto una buena mineralidad. Para su elaboración, las uvas son seleccionadas y vendimiadas de forma manual. La vinificación se lleva a cabo en depósitos de acero inoxidable a baja temperatura, con una maceración en frío previa para extraer los aromas de la uva. Tras la fermentación maloláctica y un medido paso por barricas de roble francés, se embotella un tinto pleno de frescura con un marcado carácter frutal.
Bodegas Juan Gil es una empresa familiar que se funda en 1906, cuando Juan Gil Jiménez edifica la bodega del mismo nombre. Actualmente, cuenta con más de 350 hectáreas de viñedo propio en Jumilla, donde cultiva la uva reina de la región: la monastrell, protagonista de interesantes vinos tintos como este Honoro Vera Monastrell.

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.
