Juan Gil Blue Label, 0.75L, 2021

Description:

Produced mostly with grapes from selected old vineyards of Monastrell, Cabernet-Sauvignon & Syrah with low yields, grown at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level. Maceration-Fermentation of each grape variety is carried out in small stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation and subsequent aging for 18 months in new French and American oak barrels, resulting in a very concentrated, complex and elegant red wine.

Tasting Notes:

Red cherry colour with garnet rim and powerful aroma of black fruits, roasted and balsamic notes. Complex and well-structured, unctuous and rounded, pleasant mouth-feel and very persistent with roasted, cocoa and spice hints. Balanced and harmonious, tasty, long and elegant finish marked by the sweetness from noble tannins of very ripe fruits, displaying its potential for bottle aging.

Food Pairings:

Perfect to pair with game meat or creamy rice dishes, stewed vegetables, mushrooms, game and poultry, casserole, fish and sauce seafood, smoked, blue and cured cheeses, grilled and/or barbecued white and red meat, roast lamb, pork or beef.
