The Juan Gil Silver label (also called the 12 Meses or Etiqueta Plata) is made from the Monastrell grape (Mourvedre) and comes from vineyards over 50 years old. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak. The color is purple-red and the nose shows red and black fruits such as red currant and blackberry. Also beautiful notes of smoked wood and espresso. In the aftertaste, the refined tannins emerge. This is simply great wine and especially the price/quality is impressive. In addition, this wine is made with respect for nature and no chemicals are used here. From the 2018 vintage, the Silver Label Meses is also certified organic and vegan. From vintage 2019 they eliminate all raisins with their new optical sorting machine and that makes it a very clean wines and has further increased the precision. They also reduced the toast of their barrels and that increases the integration of the oak with the fruit.
