JUAN GIL MONASTRELL JUMILLA (SILVER LABEL) 2023

Quite a lot of character in this 100% Monastrell made from organic grapes. This is a rich, full-bodied red wine with layers of red blackberry fruit with a briary, wild character with hints of herbs and dark chocolate.  A lot of wine here for the price!  Certified organic.

The Silver Label Monastrell is well-known for offering remarkable depth, structure, and a powerful expression of its terroir in Jumilla's hot, arid climate.

93 POINTS, The Wine Advocate. "The 2023 Silver Label is a ripe and balanced Monastrell with integrated oak. It matured in new and second-use French oak barrels for one year, but they were looking for lower toast and less impact of the wood in this wine versus earlier vintages, when it was 100% new oak. It has a fruit-driven nose with some spicy notes, a medium- to full-bodied palate with a tender mouthfeel."
