juan gil 'yellow label' monastrell

A bold but well-balanced Spanish red from Bodegas Juan Gil, based in Jumilla, where old-vine Monastrell thrives in hot, dry conditions and delivers serious flavour.

This is full-bodied and savoury, opening with ripe blackberry and plum, followed by earthy mushroom notes and dried savoury herbs. Four months in oak adds polish without masking the fruit. The palate is generous but fresh, with well-integrated tannins and enough acidity to keep everything lifted and food-friendly.

Comforting, hearty, and deeply satisfying - especially when there’s something bubbling away on the stove, especially sausage!
