ABOUT THIS WINE
Bodegas Juan Gil's Juan Gil Blanco is a dry white wine from the Jumilla DO in Murcia, Spain, made entirely from Moscatel de Grano Menudo. The grapes are sourced from organically farmed vineyards in the Aragona Valley, situated at high altitudes (700-850 meters) on gentle slopes with limestone and chalky soils. This environment, characterized by a dry climate and ample sunshine, is conducive to cultivating the Moscatel variety, leading to concentrated fruit. Bodegas Juan Gil, a family winery established in 1916, is part of Gil Family Estates and is committed to preserving old vineyards and native varietals, emphasizing sustainable farming and minimal intervention to express the unique character of Jumilla's terroir.
