José Gil - Rioja
“José Gil is an exciting new name in Rioja and seems to be leading a group of young growers in the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. He ages his wines in a natural cave in the village, something quite common there, and he looks for freshness, finesse and elegance in his wines, trying to show the purest expression of his vineyards. Everything is very hands-on, from the work in the vineyards to the sales.
A new name to follow.”Luis Gutiérrez - Robert Parker
