Preparation and aging

Juan Gil Label Azul 2021 is a wine with Cabernet Sauvignon, Monastrell and Syrah. The grapes used to obtain this wine come from old vineyards. The limestone and stony soils, very poor in nutrients, are ideal for growing the Monastrell variety with a low yield of around 2,500 Kg/Ha. After destemming, the grapes are macerated in stainless steel tanks and allowed to ferment for 20-25 days at 25ºC.

Malolactic fermentation and subsequent aging for 18 months are carried out in French oak barrels. Juan Gil Label Azul is one of the most complex wines from Jumilla, mature, structured, and very persistent, a perfect example of the benefits of good aging.
