Juan Gil Yellow Label Monastrell, DO Jumilla

Jumilla is a tough place to be a vine, yet these old bush vines, high in the hot, dusty hills of Jumilla produce characterful and fruit-packed wines from the local Monastrell grape. An easy style of Monastrell, the Yellow label tends more towards red fruit characters – fresh, juicy and bright.

The nose has rich plum and bramble characters, with delicate vanilla spice and cedar. The palate has layers of ripe fruit, blackcurrant, blackberry, spicy plum and cherry, and fine tannins balanced by bright acidity.

Hearty meat and vegetable stews, roast pork.
