Honoro Vera Monastrell 2024

Honoro Vera Monastrell 2024 is a Spanish red wine from Jumilla that combines the characteristic power of the Monastrell grape with an accessible, modern style. The wine is produced by Bodegas Juan Gil (Gil Family Estates) from organically grown, old vines on calcareous, poor soils without irrigation, resulting in a low yield and a concentrated flavor.

In the glass, the wine displays a vibrant cherry-red color with purple reflections. The nose opens with ripe red and black fruit, complemented by notes of violets, a eucalyptus-like freshness, and a hint of spices. On the palate, the wine is direct and flavorful, with plum, dark berry fruit, and licorice, supported by a mineral undertone. The finish is clean and persistent, with a good balance between acidity and soft tannins.

The Gil Family Estates wine brand belongs to one of the most dynamic wine families in Spain. The Gil family is known for its focus on authentic grape varieties, sustainable vineyard practices, and excellent value for money. Under the Honoro Vera label, characterful wines are produced that reflect Spain's unique terroir, yet are accessible to a wide audience.
