Described as “a Spanish wine powerhouse” by the Wine Spectator’s Robert Camuto, Bodega Juan Silver’s outstanding 93 pt. 2019 Juan Gil Silver offers ripe, earthy flavors hinting of herbs and spice with astounding complexity and richness, crafted with the same meticulous attention as their cult collectibles El Nido and Clio at a mere fraction of the price.
Pioneering the revival of Monastrell (aka Mourvedre) in the Jumilla region of Spain and counted among its top producers, Bodega Juan Silver owns around 700 hectares of dry-farmed estate vineyards located at elevations of 700 to 850 meters, most of them planted with old bush vine Monastrell over 40 years old in the region's famously chalky limestone soils. With origins dating back to 1916, the founder’s grandsons Juan Gil Gonzalez and his brother Paco are credited with forging the winery’s current reputation for quality and value, while fourth generation Miguel has led their modern expansion for the last two decades. Sourced from organically farmed 100% old vine Monastrell with each plot vinified separately, winemaker Bartolome Abellan aged the 2019 Juan Gil Silver for 12 months in 20% new French oak adding toasty notes and smooth, silky tannins that highlight the Bodega’s signature rich style.
“Producing outstanding, Monastrell-based wines that consistently offer serious bang for the buck” according to Vinous critic Josh Raynolds, Bodegas Juan Silver’s powerhouse 93 pt. 2019 Juan Gil Silver counts among the most remarkable red wine values of Spain, offering freshness, energy and balance that beg for another sip, now priced to enjoy every day. |
