This winery is founded in 1916, when Juan Gil Giménez, great-grandfather of the current generation , started getting involved in the world of wine building a winery in the heart of Jumilla. His son, Juan Gil Guerrero, dedicated all his life to this world. But the ones who really consolidated... the project were Juan Gil González and his brother Paco, the founder´s grandsons. They forged an image of quality, efficiency and reliability which the present generation is trying to maintain and improve as much as possible. Both these values and the respect for tradition are essential and are not going to be disregarded under any circunstance. It is after these men that the most emblematic trademark of this new period is called “Juan Gil”.
