Juan Gil 18 Meses Blue Label Monastrell 2023 is a concentrated expression of Monastrell from the Jumilla DO in Spain. The fruit originates from vineyards situated at high altitudes, which contribute to the wine`s structure and complexity. This bottling undergoes 18 months of ageing in a combination of French and American oak, imparting notes of dark fruits, chocolate and subtle spice.

Since 2022, there`s also a Cuvée À with a blue label, and that wine is partly aged in amphorae, but this is the regular 2023 Blue Label, matured 100% in French and American oak barrels of different sizes—220, 300, 500 and 600 liters—but some years ago, they reduced the toast and looked for coopers who made barrels that marked the wine less. This was produced with a blend of 60% Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah aged for 18 months in barrel. It`s spicy, toasty and smoky, with notes of vanilla and cinnamon, ripe berry fruit and Mediterranean herbs. It`s ripe at 15% alcohol (which is slightly lower than in 2022), with a pH of 3.75, 5.7 grams of acidity and 2.7 grams of residual sugar. It`s medium- to full-bodied with abundant, fine-grained tannins and abundant oak-related flavors. 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2025.
