General Information
Fresh, fragrant, and with a pleasant palate, Juan Gil Blanco 2024 derives its organoleptic qualities from its excellent origin: vineyards located at 700 meters above sea level, planted on limestone and stony soils in the hills of the Arona valley (Jumilla). There, the Gil family selects the best moscatel de grano menudo grapes and harvests them manually. Once in the winery, vinification is carried out in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After the fermentation process is completed, the wine remains in the tank until bottling. The result is a friendly white wine that surprises with its intense aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, and white flowers, and its harmonious palate with balanced acidity.
Founded in 1906 by Juan Gil Jiménez, Bodegas Juan Gil is a family winery currently led by the fourth generation, combining tradition and ancestral wisdom with the most current techniques and equipment. Juan Gil wines express the historical character of the region, enhanced by thorough knowledge of the land and the grape; the ideal formula for obtaining high-quality wines.
Juan Gil Blanco 2024 is classified within the D.O. Jumilla. Enjoy it on its own or accompanied by salads, seafood, white fish, mild cheeses, and white meats.

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.
