Staff Pick Notes

Do you enjoy full-bodied red wines that are smooth, fruit forward, and complex? Do you also enjoy an amazing value? If you answered yes and yes, this is the wine for you! The Juan Gil Silver Label defines Jumilla, a hot, sunny, and dry region located in Southeastern Spain where the thick-skinned Monastrell grape thrives. Known internationally as Mourvèdre, this grape needs a lot of heat and sunshine to ripen fully. And when it does, look out! The flavors of blueberries and even chocolate jump out of the glass. This is the perfect wine to have with friends when there is a grill around. As a bonus, over 94% of the grapes grown here are organic. Also, the oldest remains of Vitis Vinifera seeds were discovered here dating back to 3000 BC. That's over 5000 years of viticultural history in Jumilla.

Monastrell

A Spanish synonym for the dark-skinned Mourvèdre grape.

Jumilla

Just slightly inland off the Mediterranean Sea, this hot climate region is the ideal home for the red grape Monastrell (also called Mourvèdre in France). Wines from Jumilla are generally ripe and jammy, with loads of dark berry fruit intertwined with notes of baking spices, chocolate, and tea. These are very versatile food wines, and, at generally very modest prices, they are the perfect accompaniment to your Chinese take-out (or a heaping plate of barbeque spare ribs).
