Jumilla's Benchmark Monastrell — Old Vines, Organic, Exceptional Value
The Juan Gil Silver Label (Etiqueta Plata) is the flagship wine of the Gil family and one of the most celebrated value reds in the world — consistently delivering the concentration and complexity of a wine twice its price. Sourced from 40+ year old vines planted in high-altitude, limestone-rich soils in Jumilla, southeastern Spain, and farmed organically and veganic, the 2023 vintage is a benchmark expression of what Monastrell can achieve in this sun-drenched appellation.
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023

Expert Review - Prior Vintage 2022
The Wine Advocate 92 Points | The 2022 Silver Label now shows the name on the label (and also "Etiqueta Plateada" in Spanish). It's their first wine in their new era, which started in 2002, a wine that aims to promote the quality and potential of Monastrell. 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 the wine than earlier vintages when it was 100% new oak. It has a paler color and a subtler and more floral nose, keeping the poise and showing surprisingly fresh for the conditions of the year. It's ripe, reflecting the warm and dry weather, with 15% alcohol but very good freshness, coming through as balanced and harmonious, clean and pure. This is a bargain and a success for the year, a champion in drinkability. Bravo! 298,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2024.
